What kind of hunting?

 

[peterk123]

Okay, I will play. My homemade saddle for hunting from a tree.

Last three shots from a TC impact muzzle loader from today at 100 yards. Paid $179 for that muzzle loader like 5 years ago and taken many deer with it. No.....you don't need a $10k rifle to hunt deer in new england.

Killed a lot of deer with my Excalibur.

The shorthair is very important hunting gear

From last fall, I got bored and decided to empty the mag. Not very inspiring but I did start that day hunting.

I'm one of those thousands and thousands of dollars worth of gear guys. Wish I knew how to use some of it.

@edmorseiii - the Natty light cans are a nice touch there.

Perks of hunting your own property.

Homeboy did say he plays it cheap.

A cheap gambrel which pays dividends.

The best investment ive made so far is a butt cushion. I dont do treestand stuff so this may not be relevant to you guys.

You could heave up a mammoth with that setup!

I bought an 8.5 pound Lone Wolf Assault 1 (not made anymore) for about 250ish dollars. Love that stand. Also bought a set of Hunting Beast climbing sticks which are nice and lightweight... Makes for a nice mobile setup. All in the setup is about 17 pounds with stealth strips and straps/buckles, etc. and I can get into any tree.... Crooked trees, trees with limbs, etc...

I’m a ground pounder as well. After trying a bunch of different chairs/seats I spent the money on a Waldrop PacSeat. It’s spendy but it is comfortable and flexible.
If you aren’t comfortable you won’t be able to sit still and the deer will pick you out long before you see them.

I use it for other stuff too, pulling up the front end on my tractor and changing blades, moving heavy stuff in and out out of my truck.
Its nice, when i get a deer I just back the truck in hook the head up or rear hams and pull it right up.

Its rated for 400#.....but you have to be careful not to overload the floor joists too..

I used an HME Hitch Hoist for those tasks. It’s a little sloppy but it works well and It fits well in the front of the bed under the game cart.

The gambrel holders at the top are a great addition when you want to use it as a meat pole as it keeps the deer from rotating.

I modified mine last year to use it for skinning deer as well. Hopefully I will get a chance to try it out this year. Time will tell. I’m recovering from a back operation.
