    Xop vs lone wolf

    I’ve owned both. Lone wolf is superior. Noticeably lighter. Better finish. The “V” and teeth as significantly wider and sharper. It makes a big deal when sticking to the tree.

    FL Catalyst Critique

    I really like the Catalyst, but in my opinion there is one thing that really limits the value of this jacket, that being the cut, more specifically, the sleeves. The best I can tell, this jacket was cut for someone that has an amazing abnormally gurthy torso to pencil thin forearm ratio. I’m...

    Silk weight base layer?

    I went deep into the WWW and found peckhmanperformancewear.com Apparently they sell polarized base layers for under $10. I’ll report back if it’s legit. I also have a hard time dropping over $50 on a base layer that I might shred walking through the timber.

    Silk weight base layer?

    Have any of you expiremented with wearing a silk weight base layer, next to skin, below your actual base layers, for late season? I know a silk weight is part of the military’s ECWCS, I’m just not sure what the thought process is there. I own a Patagonia capilene top, which is maybe the most...

    OR Winter Ferrosi Jacket

    Anyone have experience with this jacket? I guess it’s the Ferrosi with 80 grams of insulation. It’s advertised as insulation “without the duct tape”, meaning more durable.!Is it quiet enough for treestand hunting?

    First Lite Phantom 3d review?

    I’ve found very little as far as reviews for the First Lite leafy top. Any of you use it? My main attraction is being able to throw it over an peice of clothing for instant camo. My application will be eastern whitetail archery from a tree. I don’t need to worry about blobbing out at 100...

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    I have no doubt still that hunting is a good method. I’ve found that September-October, I saw more deer walking to and from my stand locations. Far more. If I had a scattergun, I could have killed any of them by just taking a slow still in the woods. I’m not there with a bow. My interest has...

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    What sort of clear cuts are you hunting? How old? Some people have 10 year old hardwood growth, some have 2 year old briar clearcuts.

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    Someone made the Hunting Beast suggestion to me a year ago, and I’ve been on the Hunting Beast since then. Great, great, great stuff on there. A lot of dedicated good guys. I came here for a fresh respective, that might compliment what I’ve learned from the Hunting Beast guys. After scouting...

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    When you say saddles, draws, and benches, can you be more specific as to how you hunt them? Also, do you play the wind somehow? Or sit in the same tree no matter the wind? Hunt leeward only? When it comes to draws, I have hunted the top of draws where the erosion stops and there is a flat...

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    I guess you could say I'm looking for guidance on early season. In NC we have a solid two month bow season before gun season, and unfortunately the peak rut is in the middle of the gun season. I have done a good deal of post season scouting for bedding areas. My findings were that bedding is...

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    Yeah, I love to hear more about what you think makes an area desirable travel area for deer. 3/4 mile during bow season is a given for me. Firearm season, it might be closer to 1/2 mile. I've got some landlocked public land that I have access to. Also there is one main parking area. No...

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    Interesting about your algorithm. I've ran cameras year round, switching locations maybe once a month. No matter where I've placed them, a mature buck in daylight once a week is average. I've even matched up the wind direction and didn't find a pattern. Yes, I can use hunter pressure to my...

    Patterning Unpatternable Mountain Deer

    Gentleman, I’ve come to this forum for some good discussion on hunting mountain whitetails. I’ve read some of the threads here and took away some good information already. The age of the internet is awesome, but you still have to dig to find information on hunting eastern mountain deer. I’m...
