    Netherman's 2023 Hunting Season Recap

    Day 6 I couldn’t get the bow thing out off my mind so at 5am I decided to go shoot my bow. Unfortunately, the bow target was back at the transmission shop with the truck. I keep a small game tip in my quiver for grouse (never saw one in KS and didn’t know if they were open anyway). I was able...

    Netherman's 2023 Hunting Season Recap

    Day 4 Not having much intel from the evening I decided to sit the timber pockets and see if I could beat them back to bed. I heard some birds and a racoon fight, but no deer. We’d been having some weird shuddering in the truck since we arrived in KS so we decided to do some investigating. With...

    Netherman's 2023 Hunting Season Recap

    Day 2 We spent the morning glassing some more and midday went back and scouted the WIH area where we saw the bucks the previous morning. Wanting to look for sign in the patches of timber my friend got set up on the downwind side while I walked thru with the wind at my back. The dream was to get...

    Netherman's 2023 Hunting Season Recap

    2023 KS Whitetail and MT Deer (The Main Event) Last time I did a two-week trip I said I’d never do one again unless it was an Alaskan hunt where that length of time is nearly mandatory. Well here we are. Figuring out how to jam gear for a whitetail bowhunt and a western rifle hunt into a ½ ton...

    Netherman's 2023 Hunting Season Recap

    I've enjoyed doing these write ups the past few years and think it's been huge in helping me grow my skillset. The feedback from more senior members as well as the self reflection aspect has been very helpful. So, without further ado, here's the wall of text no one asked for. 2023 (Bonus Hunt)...

    …

    I feel the same way. Something feels off and I can't help but wonder if it's related to the sale and new ownership. It feels like there may be a push to increase revenue to recover their initial investment vs "labor of love" model. I like the comment on copying the Yeti model. Step 1 slap a...

    Spypoint Corrosion Cleaning

    Not sure how it would work in this case, but I had a water issue with my washing machine's control board. The fix was to clean it then "paint" it with conformal coating. I've got a lifetime supply, but for $15 it was way cheaper than a new board...

    What items do you carry multiples of while in the backcountry?

    Did he try anything to make it work? Seems like tying the ends together with an easily untied knot (bowline) would get you going. (assuming that brand had a reverse pull tension system).

    Large soft cooler / kill bag

    I haven't used any of the brands listed, but me and a buddy flew two mule deer home in 48 can polar bear coolers. Each one was right at 50lb with meat a ~2lb of dry ice. would probably need 2.5 for the two deer, but we left some meat with my brother for letting us crash at his place and borrow...

    Toilet paper or wet wipes?

    God wants you to bury your shit." We need a shirt with this info. Lots of variations on the google, but this is my favorite. Deuteronomy 23:14 Tree of Life Version 14 You are to have a shovel for yourself among your weapons. Now when you sit down outside, you are to dig with it and turn and...

    Climbing sticks

    I doubt you'll find anything anything with the same performance to value ratio of the Heliums (4 sticks for $100). For the "best of the best" I'd take a hard look at the latitude carbon sticks (no metal) or if you're in the lone wolf game their sticks for the "integrated system" aspect. I have...

    Magview Inductive Charge Plate Not Working

    Update: They responded quickly that there is a lot of variables between phones, chargers, and cases. Their only suggestion was to "move it around" and see if that helps. Probably need to make that disclaimer for the technologically challenged people, but not so helpful for me. They also said...

    Federal land and State animals

    Nope. Not a fan of some of their positions. Particularly trying to create a wilderness area in lower michigan. As mentioned before I'm pro wilderness but removing roads and telling Jimmy down the road he can't drive to his favorite fishing hole or old Johnny that "his" hunting spot of 30 years...

    Federal land and State animals

    It's the same argument for federally funded lands within a state. Locking out the NRs who provide federal funding is similarly state welfare. I still think there should be priority for locals but think there should be acknowledgment/accommodation in the form of tags and access for NRs and the...

    Federal land and State animals

    I struggle with this debate. As a MI resident working in the auto industry I'm in the NR game for all things western (zero chance I'd do the CA auto thing) and am regularly bummed when I have to scratch off an area due to wyoming's wilderness law. I feel as though I am funding someone else's use...

    Magview Inductive Charge Plate Not Working

    Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the inductive charge plate doesn’t seem to work with my phone, case, charger combination. iPhone 13, verizon free corporate case (slightly less heavy duty than otterbox), and a ~4yo anker inductive charger that worked prior to the plate install. I’ve...

    Michigan Elk

    Also interested in how your hunt went. I've got a hunting buddy who drew a first season cow tag. He was asking about guided vs DIY. I told him I knew a free guide if he went DIY (sounds like fun and who knows if I'll ever draw a MI tag). I'm curious if you went guided or DIY and would love any...

    Who here hunts whitetail fro ma saddle setup?

    For me it's a time and a place thing. I've got a dryad mini hybrid (basically a rock climbing harness with sling) and bring either a predator platform or lwcg .75 (new this year). If it's a place i've pre-scouted I make a note whether a stand or saddle would be best and bring in items...

    Kifaru Bino Harness

    Magview has the magnet on the optic not the phone. Phone just gets a steel plate. I’ve not had issues with my phone (IPhone 12) and marsupial case. But do miss having a ball compass pinned to the top of my harness like on my AGC harness. A lot of times in thick timber I just need to go a...

    Glassing pads and stools

    Depends on the hunt. Heavy glassing = crazy creek hex Moderate glassing = cut up z seat Minimal glassing (no tripod) = no seat
