    KY Whitetail

    Congrats, man! I'm in Lexington. What part of the state are you hunting?

    Made my own Outdoorsmans Shooting "V" and 1/4-20 base plate for a camera

    Nice! Give that rifle rest a couple of coats of tool dip and it will be just like store-bought.

    Tall guy sleeping bags

    I’m 6’5” and have a Warbonnet quilt in their XL size. It fits me pretty well. Also, Mountain Hardwear’s Lamina line is longer than most. They say the standard size fits up to 6’5”, but in hindsight I wish I’d gone with their long.

    Bladder options in backpacks - easy to access your bladder and not too squashed?

    I ran out of water about a 1/8 mile into a loaded-down pack out. When I stopped for a break a couple of miles later, it dawned on me that I may have smashed my bladder when I cinched the meat down. I dug it out of my pack and, sure enough, there was another half to 3/4 of a liter left. Best...

    Go to knife

    I'll second this! I have a Bark River Bravo in A2 that fits my hand like a dream, but it's a huge chunk of steel and too thick for a lot of field dressing and butchering chores. My favorite butchering knife is the Cold Steel Master Hunter, like mentioned above, but in 3V. For some reason I...

    Rock Climbing Harness in Climbing Stand

    I set my climbers up correctly, and I don't HAVE to lean out like that. I LIKE to. And I never said I was normal!

    Rock Climbing Harness in Climbing Stand

    I'm having a hard time visualizing what you mean here. Are you leaning straight out away from the tree? I usually have my feet planted on the front of the platform and lean forward about, I dunno, twenty degrees or so. It seems to me that if you're tethered in the front, this would spin you around.

    Rock Climbing Harness in Climbing Stand

    Hi guys, I have a stupid question about climbing harnesses. I’m not sure where the thread should go, but I figured the whitetail forum made the most sense. I’m not ready to make the leap to a tree saddle yet. They just seem complicated, and I’m used to my climbing stands. I’ve got a Summit Open...

    Question about older Swaros

    Well, thanks for the responses, guys. I reached out to the guy and they had gotten snatched up quick! Guess I should have jumped on them.

    Question about older Swaros

    I’m an eastern hunter and I’ve never owned any high end glass, but I’ve never really felt I needed it. I mostly use a pair of Bushnell Elite 7x30s that are a couple of years old to watch birds and squirrels as entertainment while in the deer stand. Occasionally I’ll use them to size up a buck...

    Is the yoke still available? If so, I’ll take it.

    Cohutta Wilderness, GA

    Hi guys, just wanted to follow up and say thanks again for the tips. I shot a small female, about 125lbs or so, on Friday afternoon. Packed quarters, hide and head a few miles back to camp that evening and then out to the truck and check station the next morning. My buddy shot a larger one the...

    Best way to carry rifle on my pack

    +1 for this. I made my own version of the gun bearer since I didn’t think I was going to like it, but I love it. Hiking in or out, the barrel is strapped in the side compression straps and pointing straight up. If you’re hunting, or there’s a chance of seeing game, the barrel is strapped at...

    Baking soda for scent control

    Again, I’m not saying they aren’t smelling you. I’m just proposing that some scent control can help you fool their judgement as it relates to their sense of smell. Which would colloquially be known as “fooling their noses.” I’m pretty sure I’m not going to convince anyone, so this is the last...

    Baking soda for scent control

    I get it. I’ve dabbled in blood tracking dogs and read a couple books on it. I haven’t had the opportunity to elk hunt yet, and I’m not trying to act like I have, but I’ve had a little success with whitetails and black bears. We all agree that an animal’s judgment can be fooled, right? I mean...

    Baking soda for scent control

    I think a lot of the debate here has to do with hunting styles. Many of us eastern whitetail hunters have seen scent reduction techniques work to some degree. But that’s also usually from a tree stand, for a matter of a few hours to a day, while wearing clothes that were stored in a bag of...

    What flashlight do you bring along on day hunts?

    I carry the flashlight in my pocket almost all the time, and it comes in handy when I need a little more light than the headlamp. Works especially well for blood tracking.

    Non Down Bags - Recommendations

    +1 for the Mountain Hardwear Lamina. I’ve got a couple year old 5deg. maybe. So far so good.

    Baking soda for scent control

    Sure thing. There are several iterations online. They are all similar with slight variations. Here’s one on Field & Stream: https://www.fieldandstream.com/how-to-make-scent-killing-wipes-to-hide-your-smell-from-deer/
