    Out of State Hunt Suggestions

    Land lease

    I couldn't ever find myself leasing, just too much state/federal land here in southern ohio especially. I always here all these public land disasters but for my first 20 years of hunting it was strictly public and other than rut and gun I had thousands of acres basically to myself but I live not...

    Using an Aider with Climbing Sticks

    For me a saddle is more comfortable than any stand I have except my climber and thinking about a climbers seat is sorta like a saddle. Other thing I like about saddles is you set up facing where the deer hopefully come from but you have a tree between you and them and can easily move at least...

    Using an Aider with Climbing Sticks

    Anderson slings are quite popular again lol. I didn't like one sticking myself, just to many moves and by the time you add rope weight etc there wasn't alot of weight savings let alone cost. With my aider and 3 sticks I can get 18+ ft, plenty high enough

    Using an Aider with Climbing Sticks

    Climb ladder, hang in saddle, move ladder up, climb up and so on to height and then usually rappel down I have aider on my bottom ladder only. Getting you foot in it at dark can be a huge pain sometimes and if you don't get your foot locked in good it'll slip off tree causing a fall which is...

    Tree saddle

    My safety's are - the tail Of my tether is carbinered back to my harness encase my rope man fails and I added a 1/8" amsteel on top of my webbing bridge. I feel there absolutely not needed but it's not hurting anything doing it so I'll continue

    Tree saddle

    Gotcha! I tried one sticking, probably need more practice but I was even slower LoL. Could even hang a aider off the platform I reckon

    Tree saddle

    Unless you can find a good used set of ladders then you can't hardly beat the price of the hawk helium's. I bought full length sets on sale for $99

    Tree saddle

    When I make it down to get that stand, IF I can remember I'll bring a set of mine to try. I have no issues with mine and the suction cups hold well and make no noise for me
