If I had known there was a club I would have wrassled this one to get in.

Dang nice buck!!

Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.

Nice mess of east Texas bone

This 8 point was a good 300 yards away. I thought it was a doe when I shot it. Luckily I had not used my either sex tag yet.

Note to self…Don’t hunt anywhere near Danny!!

I was thinking this too ^^^^^

But, then I thought maybe he dropped that little 8 (not having any binos) and with iron sights.

Love the shirt

Any hunter that consistently kills mature bucks on public land is a good hunter.

Those hunters that consistently kill mature bucks with a BOW on public land is a very good hunter.

Bragging on ya a little East Texan!!!!

4 power scope. hunting ks not colorado. no need for binoculars. didnt see antlers

Maybe you need a some binos or a better scope.....lol

Just gouging at ya a little DC!

even though it was a white tail its ears pretty much covered them up. i use binoculars for spot and stalk but the kind of hunting i do here in ks they are just more stuff to carry. if your hunting antlers, if they are too small to see without telescopic's at 3-400 yards they are to small.

Thanks Uncle Swamp

… out of all those racks only about 10 were with a bow.. 30’d most of the rest but in bow range for the most part … can’t see more than 40 yards or so in the places the deer move during daylight

… no feed, no cameras, no foodplots

… and only one deer stand

… can’t beat that deal lol

Some people hunt, some people know HOW to hunt.

You have my utmost respect to regularly take good bucks from public land and to use a hang-on with sticks exclusively.

I still use hang-ons with sectional stick ladders but not exclusively. I favor a Summit climber now that I've aged a bit

You da man!

… that’s what I was looking for… validation from a game warden… thanks your honor lol

… but Swamp if you can shimmy up a tree in a summit… you can hang sticks

… the only reason I like sticks and hang on over climber is you can get up in more than a loblolly pine… most spots the deer are in is thicket and branched oak around here….the mature pines are pretty much void of any type of wildlife






…. Dang this is making me anxious for fall !

The snake unto themselves would make me anxious fir fall

I still use the hang-ons (have 3 Millennium 100s). Don't use then as much as I used to. One is still in a creek bottom from last September.....I need to go pull it down.

I have several sets of stick ladders (4 or 5 sections slide together for 16 to 20 feet). I've never used the kind you're using, but have come close to buying a set or two over the years to save weight.



I favor the Summit Goliath or Viper now (aluminum versions). Can move/climb very quickly and quietly. Have a couple of em. Great stands.
