i have the aluminum viper and actually left in in the woods all season for three years around the base of the tree. i now use ladder stands, but they do not compare with the summit for comfort. i love that stand! the portability and versatility is just a bonus! figure out how much you will really be...

i have decided against that thing. i don't need the novelty of the laser. i can always put one on it separately if i choose to. i am considering either the truglo 4x32 or the simmons 4x32. they are both available in camo. the truglo comes with rings but i read that they are too low for the applicati...

Ok guys, My firearms all have either Leupold or Zeiss scopes on them, so I know that you get what you pay for. However, I have read good reviews about this scope on ebay, and it seems perfect for the application. I wanted to get some thoughts from you guys on it before ordering it though. Let me kno...

i bought a low-end model from dick's sporting goods. it is yellow layered foam with a black plastic case/shell. it was only like 59 bucks and you can VERY easily pull the bols from it. luckily, my bolts have great fletchings on them and they hold up relly well. this is a must because when tuning my ...

i am always in for a raffle. can someone email me the details? this is the first i heard of it so fill me in on the particulars. i can pay pal or mail a check for funds. thanks guys.

cheney would have peppered that pig in the face and then bit his throat out! seriously though, the guy with the handgun would have gotten a whippin after all the dust cleared. that guy rolling down the hill probably came within inches of several rounds from that pistol. i hate being around other peo...

it is never too early to get ready. our season starts in early september. my stand is in some woods surrounded by farms and orchards. people say it is a waste to bait this early, but i think that is non-sense. sure there is plenty for them to eat on the ground right now, but when they find 100 pound...

time to get ready for fall season. last year i bought my crossbow with a 3x magnification scope with 3 lines for yardage drop. it worked very well, but i was wondering if anyone has experimented with a scope with more magnification. i'd prefer one with 4x mag and graduations. if no one makes this, i...

hey guys. much like many hunters, i have been plagued with the woes of not being able to find broadheads that fly like fieldtips. i have bought all sorts of different brands that claim to fly like fieldtips to no avail. i absolutely hate mechanicals and have found that they dont fly any better than ...

thanks guys. looks like i should have done more homework before buying those. good nes is, they were fairly inexpensive. a friend of mine ows a shop so he might trade them out for me. unfortunately i did not buy them from him. no big deal. 9 of them are like 40 bucks. they have been shooting out of ...

hey guys. i just got my ten point x-bow last week and i upgraded to beman thunder bolts. they came with half-moon nocks. ten point recomends the flat knock because of the helical vanes. i thought the half-moon would be a little more stable and accurate. what do you guys think of this? what do you sh...

just ordered a pack of slick tricks -if they are as accurate as everyone says, i'll order some more. with unlimited doe kills in NJ this year, i am sure i will go through some broadheads.

my very first deer hunt, i was in a ground stand. just as the sun came up, about 30 turkeys dropped out of the roost, all at once. did i mention i was under the tree they were in? it sounded like a black hawk helicopter coming in too hot for a landing! my dad was a couple hundred yards away in a tre...

i think i will order some slick tricks today. are you guys using the 1" or the 1 1/8" magnums? thanks for the help. i have been watching a buck that i believe is in a pattern of coming to my bait pile. last week i went out twice (monday and thursday). he was there at 5:45 one night and the...

awesome pics. thanks for sharing them. what kind of camera do you use? i'd like to take some pics from the stand, but my digital camera beeps when you take a pic and there's no way to turn the beep off.
