    Hunting near a bedding area? Ground Blind or Saddle?

    Had not really thought about this as a possibility but I very well may do this if I cant get in there a few days early to set them. Thanks!

    Hunting near a bedding area? Ground Blind or Saddle?

    :LOL:Never thought I'd try it but once I did there is no going back unless Im sitting a ladder stand over a food plot or something like that rifle hunting. For any timber/wooded areas or new areas it is so versatile and way more comfortable than a hang on stand.

    I agree but just dont want to blow him out of his bed and ruin the first half of the season for one hunt is my hold back. I can still be in their hunting just not out my stick and platform up until after the morning hunt was my thought.

    Hunting near a bedding area? Ground Blind or Saddle?

    I recently got a saddle that I will be hunting with this year for the first time. I have several shooter bucks patterned coming into an area that is near their bedding area (within 100-200yards). I have had some practice and have a tree prepped for my saddle in this area but with it still being...

    COLORADO OHV PERMIT?

    This is our first time hunting Colorado. If I am using a truck (F150) do I need a OHV permit to drive any roads on public land? Some things read that it maybe required but some state that is just for 4wheels, utv, etc.

    Saddle hunting??? Talk me into it.

    Yeah I got a killer deal on the hawk sticks. Got them at basspro but they priced matched midway for $99.99 for the 4 pack. Got a good deal on the saddle too with using a coupon code I got from going to the Full Draw Film Tour. Yeah I never even thought about it as a possibility until I got...

    Saddle hunting??? Talk me into it.

    Both. I bow hunt all season except during gun season unless I get a buck early in the 16 day gun season and then I go back to bow. We can take 2 bucks and 4 does, all of which can be with a bow but during gun you can only take 1 buck and 2 does so I normally try to get 1 buck in bow and then...

    Saddle hunting??? Talk me into it.

    Tried one last night (hawk helium) and liked it but ended up ordering a trophyline covert this morning and running hawk helium mini/20” sticks and a hawk apex platform. Eventually will upgrade platforms probably. I have an apex packed I used yesterday but I have a pop up 38 that if I was hunting...

    Removing Horns from a bighorn deadhead?

    I use the 5-7gallon galvanized tubs from the farm store. Heat them with either the side burner on the grill or a fish/turkey fryer burner.

    Removing Horns from a bighorn deadhead?

    My texas dall I did a euro of I boiled/simmered the skull for 3-4 hrs and then let the horn sit in the boiling water for about 20-30 minutes (line the pot so they dont get burnt) and then popped them off with a rubber mallet. Just hit them at the base of the shalth and if they are ready they...

    Saddle hunting??? Talk me into it.

    Yeah I'd love to see what setup you are running to give me an idea. Not really wanting to drop 500+ on a setup right now due to I got into western hunting this year so that budget and gear list has been a rabbit hole that never ends lol

    Saddle hunting??? Talk me into it.

    I've seen several using the Hunters Safety System rope style tree strap for the tether and also as a lineman's belt with adding an extra carabiner.

    Not a lot of climber friendly trees in Oklahoma or I would probably go that route.
