showers than rain...with 10-15 mph winds ENE, do i drive an hour and git in the stand or nah ? best 2 days--moon phase wise...

 

can't thump one sitting at home!!

 

I dont look at any of that (except wind), I just go everytime I get a chance. I say go.

 

Nerd.

 

impossible, as i still have an app-free flip phone!!!



so decided against, due to the rain, and if i should stick one..blood trail in the rain is damn near impossible, but wait, there's more. so the weather nazi's have been saying rain for tomorrow for a week, and now, a little over 12 ourwhores, no rain, just cloudy....



where'd it go ?

 

Another protected critter walking by the lower camera. Showed up on the upper camera yesterday.
No wonder this is a Turkey free zone.

 

Love my cruzr platform. This reminds me I desperately need to ditch my Hawk sticks Maybe next year

Side note, do you always use an extra tether/lineman's for your platform? Thinking more about this, I assume the weight is probably still about equal to a cam buckle strap, and alot more utility having an extra tether than a 1-job platform strap Would love to hear more about this.

@buckhuntin-tacoma

brushing up on my camp-bitch skillz

 

A friend just down the road found this deer in a creek drainage. no shots in it. suspect EHD. we call it blue tongue disease.not bad for a VA buck

It’s an amsteel rope just for the platform. Cinch it tight, cam the stand then do another (stand on upright and flip stand up with toe) to re-cam once I get on platform. The platform “HFAS” is lighter and quieter. Hunted last eve for first time and everything performed well. Honestly thought I’d forgotten my sticks when I was walking in since it was so noticeably lighter load. Been using muddy pros for years. They feel like a boat anchor now. These lattitude outdoor carbons are great.

 

terrible ending for a nice buck! love that funky rack

 

Good thing we got the food plot cut in and sowed. 5 deer in the yard yesterday. I looked out the shop window and they paid me no mind.








This one was in the front yard Sunday morning.

 

Blue tongue would be my guess, fortunately, we haven’t found any around here yet considering how dry it’s been.

 

Unless you were looking through a scope...then they would bolt

 

Interesting! So looks like its 3/16 (5mm) verses 5/16 (8mm) I'm using for my tether/lineman. Do you think a little larger rope would pose an issue considering the button size of most platforms? I could definitely see myself considering carrying an "extra tether" for my platform instead of the cam buckle strap. Seems like a dual purpose "tether" could come in handy for those troublesome trees where you're having to climb through branches/unhooking linemans to get over them. And although I already have a linemans, it never hurts to have a backup to your backup if you ever dropped a stick and needed to two-tether climb your way back down.

 

@Z7Xtreme... herez yer moon phase report...



in the stand 1/2 hour before legal, was in for both phases, no shotz, mebbe cuz its bow season, many tree rats, and a plethora of oversized aggressive skeets..nada, flip fone view of the rats playground..
