Awesome! Looks like a great buck. You ground hunting or in a tree? Hope my pack looks like that in the next couple weeks!

Awesome I’m trying to become a better ground hunter seeing this kind of stuff gives me confidence. Still hunting?

How does it do for winter hunting for clothes. I’m threatening to go with the xl for the same thing

Heck yes!!

Me and my boy went to the Buffalo national river this weekend. Saw deer but no shots. Using a Stryker myself carrying his lone wolf lock on and my hand climber seat as a saddle platform.

Yeah. Had about a 10mph crosswind. Slipped down a ridge with some white oaks on it. Seem to see a lot more deer when it’s windy. Also can get away with a lot of movement.

It could be a little bigger. I would go with the xl or the hell bender.

Yeah I love my Stryker. Good versatile pack. Wouldn’t mind trying the hell bender.

A year later, and it’s time for backcountry buck fever. Any luck finding backcountry in Ohio? At first I was thinking about the AEP lands south of Zanesville. But looking on OnX I see a ton of roads and read it’s usually slammed.

Yea i've hunted wayne national forest a few times and even going deep it was tough to get away from every one. I'm looking more towards the Alleghany forest to try this.

Shameless bump because I don’t want to see this thread die.

Hoping to hunt the Chattahoochee National Forest in GA/TN like this one day.

 

[Lowg08]

I’m glad you did. I’m going to get to go back to hunting this way now that I’ve gotten past my injury. I’m totally starting over from zero. Full regear

This thread is great! Anyone do this in the national forests in Vermont or New Hampshire?

 

[grimmcolt]

You could look into possibly e-biking in on lad too. I know it’s frowned upon by some but like myself and my buddy, we have frame packs with interchangeable pack sizes for each style of hunt. A 3 day trip on an ebike to camp is way less work than hiking in 3-5 miles and then setting camp up. Just read the laws on biking and be respectful and you won’t have any issues getting back into so good spots

There are a couple places in WV I would love to start doing some pack in whitetail hunting in. What are the deer numbers like up in Vermont and New Hampshire?

 

[RedPaint]

Not sure about New Hampshire, but Vermont is not great. Especially in national forest land where there is not as much for deer to eat as there is closer to ag areas. I’ve found some oak stands that look promising. I’ll get deer and bear tags so I’ll be able to target more than just deer.

Exactly. Harvesting a big woods buck in VT is no easy task, but it would definitely be rewarding. Look into the Wildlife Management Areas one either side of the Green Mountains. Particularly in the valleys near ag fields.

I’d really like to do this in Pennsylvania near where I live. I don’t really have any large roadless areas that are super remote, but I still think it would be a cool experience.

I’d like to get over my fear of solo camping since I don’t really have any buddies that would be into this sort of thing.
