    Deciding to pay off house with retirement savings...

    I could help you with that. But to better serve you, I really need to know that piece of land. I can probably set aside a week or two I turkey season and archery deer season to do my research. Errr, I mean this Spring and Fall. I would even be willing to waive my consultation fee while I learn...

    Suggestions for bino/rangefinder harness

    So, I have long been guilty of not carrying my binos and rangefinder because I mainly hunt the wooded mountains of NC and TN. Last night changed my mind. I had my binos with me and with 5 minutes of light left I glassed a 9 point that could never would have seen without them. Made the shot...

    Lightweight Block and Tackle

    I do use lighterpack app for backpacking. I haven’t used it for hunting, but I think I will do that. My DIY kit that I posted above will stay in the pack for sure, though. It’s lighter than two cheap unrated carabiners. I could ditch the 7 gram toggle and use something else in my pack, I guess...

    Lightweight Block and Tackle

    Here is the kit I have put together for my needs. I completely butcher my deer once I get to them and pack out the de-boned meat. I hunt in the mountains of Western NC, so my needs in a kit are probably different than many on this forum. Anyway, I hope this at least helps others refine their own...
