I know it's been 3 years since you did all this but, I'm curious what your thoughts on it now after all this time??? Reason I ask is because I'm considering buying this entire setup for this coming season???
No need to burp at them when they are that close and barely moving. This will hurt you more times than not. Just an observation after 40 years of bow hunting. Nice shot and kill young man.
Some places I ground hunt, some places I hunt in a climbing stand, some places I hunt in a saddle with 1 stick and some places with 4 sticks. I’m 56 and I can tell you it just depends on the spot you’re hunting. There’s no perfect stand for all hunting situations. In a tree, I like to be at 25 feet, I’ve hunted lower and higher depending on the tree and cover. I’ve killed more deer within 10 yards on the ground than I care to admit. It’s a rush though. In 2014 I had a platform slip down the tree and I fell about 25 feet and landed on the side of my head and shoulder, didn’t break anything. Felt like Mike Tyson beat me up though. I got lucky and now I wear a harness, so 30 plus years I never thought about a harness. Funny how things can change you. Be safe guys and enjoy the great outdoors. There’s nothing like sitting in a tree and watching the world wake up.
You also have to remember, you have to be as quiet as you possibly can. This will add significant time ( probably at least 50% more). You did a good job on this. Also, in most cases, you will need to be 18’ minimum to the platform. Depending how tall ( and young 😅) you are you may have to add a stick.
I have a set (3 piece) of Muddy climbing sticks They have the versa button. I am really interested in trying the One Stick method but the sticks have the versa button. I'm just curious, what's the issue with using sticks with a versa button? Is it because the versa button would be harder to remove the stick from the tree? I'd like to change my sticks to cam cleats but the sticks are so old I'm not ever sure a cam cleat could be mounted on the sticks.
You seemed to be biased towards the one stick because you moved with more of a purpose when using it. You were somewhat lackadaisical when doing the 4 stick. To each their own just be safe
Does it a matter how much time it takes to get down? Your hunt is over. Plus look how fast you was moving for the one stick. Taking your time for the four stick. I agree one stick is better but be fair
So, the mad rock says its rated for 8.7 mm to 11 mm rope, the rope he suggested in the link is 8mm.. is this safe? Was this a mistake or is the 8mm actually 8.7mm and just called 8mm for standard?
I am thinking about getting into saddle hunting but I’m thinking the figure 8 descending system is the way to go, on top of being super simple and controllable, they are stupid cheap compared to the mad rock safe guards
