    Yeah man. I made my own saddle and got some sticks from Novix. For the most part most setups are pretty complete but need to be tweaked for personal needs. Most times, you’ll need a way to hang your weapon and pack. The tethered HYS strap works well for that with carabiner for pack and some style if hook for weapon.

    I was checking my trail cam pictures this morning and both of my target bucks on two different farms came in last evening with 10 minutes of shooting light left. Hopefully I can get them to repeat that on Saturday evenings opener. I just need to decide which one to go after.

    Went over to the lease this morning and put in another ground blind on a river crossing I found. Pulled the chips and this fella was the best I had.

    Guys thanks for all the feedback on saddle gear. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get set up with a rig.

    Congratulations on the doe!

    I did a little surgery on your scorecard post. The two full pics were the same pic and I was thinking "Oh no." Then I saw the thumbnail with the second qualifying pic.

    They are comparable to elk except it takes 10 sikas to equal an elk.

    I hear you there. It looks like you'd be lucky to get 15 - 20 lbs. of meat off of her.
