    I met a guy in unicorn camp once that said if he ever gets busted by a whitetail, he sells his bow, sells his truck, sells the farm, gets a divorce, and just starts over fresh the next season. That dude was pretty intense.

    I made a pledge to myself I will not respond to him. It is exhausting.

    Not at all Fletch I don't think it is a special skill at all, it just takes patience. I don't think I am a better hunter than anyone. I will be honest my hunting style would not translate off my land, I am a one trick pony, but is usually a good trick:lol:

    How do these doe's let you know the big boy is coming?

    Do they wink at you? Is it one flicker or two flickers of the tail? Do they stare longer in the direction the big guy was coming?


    Let us know how to read a doe's body language/mind on when the big boy is coming, man would hunting be easier.

    Exactly, if I remove my hand, my hanger gets less stiff for some reason.

    That's not a problem. Lots of people use those small hooks for hangers.

    I LMAO!! :lol:

    My bow is on my hanger most of the time. Better chance getting busted trying to keep hands warm or fidgeting staying comfortable hanging on to my bow. I might have to reach out a foot at most to grab it off the hanger. Plenty of opportunity to do that before a deer gets in range. I can't ever recall being busted because of it. Like Fletch said, I've had a lot of deer I've grunted or rattled in that I wouldn't have been able to do hanging onto my bow.

    I only use them when I need to, otherwise I just hold on to it the whole time.

    I've been using a hanger for as long as I can remember. It's not hard to grab something that is hanging right in front of you.

    The only thing that matters in this thread is if Tony uses a hanger (Germ's unit) or not.

    Why do you take an outboard boat motor to your treestand?

    It's only a two stroke, so it's easy to handle
