I am not buying that ratchet straps make a stand more dangerous. The ratchet straps I use are way stronger than any tree stand straps in the market.

I add ratchet straps to every single stand I put up. Situations like this worry me all the time and I am just glad it was not worse.

I agree we can only hope. This is a tough and demanding sport, or at least it is supposed to be. I know that there are going to be a lot of people that won't be able to hang (pun intended) when the going gets tough. I know the hunting "industry" isn't going to like it, but oh well.

No, while tracking him his tracks looked completely normal.

Wednesday night I shot I nice 10 pt. After the shot he dropped instantly and then started spinning and rolling. After about 40 seconds of that he gets up goes to take off and falls on his face. Gets up again and takes off running with his head about a foot off of the ground. He runs about 20...

Hunt so hard from October to January 10th that you're ready for a break. Then go shed hunting.

I have the CVA Apex which has the Bergara barrel. Great gun. Had some issues with my Nikon scope base getting loose but that had nothing to do with the gun. Gun is deadly accurate and shoots every time.

I think Wednesday will be the best day because with the really cold temperatures we have been having they are going to be wanting to move when it warms up on Wednesday, imo.

Nice, I want one for my man cave.

Brush chaps.

I'm glad you didn't pass it up with your boy sitting there, you almost passed up a great memory.

Very nice. Thanks for the post.

Yes I think that no responses of successful hunts proves just how hard late muzzleloader season can be. When I am by myself I have always hunted food sources in the late evening. I shot a buck last year on the 2nd to last day on picked corn. We have group hunted in the past with some luck. It's...

I'm getting ready for the late muzzleloader season and thought it would be interesting to hear stories and see pictures of the members on this website of their late ML hunting. I would like to hear some details of the hunt (was it by yourself, group hunting, hunting food sources, in the timber...

Not to be negative or discouraging but good luck. The pressure in Iowa is crazy now-a-days, public or private. I went to one of my stands yesterday on private ground and someone had hung a stand 10' from my stand that I have had up for 3 years. Have had problems with pressure everywhere I hunt...

Just wondering because you mentioned you have never urban hunted before, have you taken all of the necessary steps to legally urban hunt?

I am looking into hunting Union County Ia. Is there anybody on here that hunts that county and if so how has your deer hunting experience been there?

That's crazy but I believe it. Some people have more money than they know what to do with it. If I have $8000 to throw on a lease I think I would be looking for some land to buy.

Depends on where you live. If you live anywhere around Agency I would go to Whitetail Archery. Otherwise Archery Field in Sports is the way to go. They do great and it is a BOW shop. Not a box store that sells bows and while you are there you can pick up your daughters soccer shoes also. They...
