Nice hog! I do not drag out anything anymore. I quarter them up and pack them out. Much easier.

Originally posted by HighwayHunter View PostI have a question for early season bowhunters. When scouting for a good early season stand, will I be better off playing the odds on summer winds primarily coming out of the south to hunt bedding areas? Or should I look for better travel corridors for evening hunts?

Definitely gotta play the wind. One thing I have learned about public land you never know where the deer will pop up. I try to find natural funnels between bedding and feeding areas

I’ve been doing a lot of internet and foot scouting trying to primarily locate bedding areas. It’s definitely difficult to locate feeding areas until you can find where the acorns are gonna be dropping. I’m not really sure what to look for food wise other than acorns and small leafy green browse, which seems to be absolutely everywhere right now.

Last time out I shot two hogs about 100-125lbs each and quartered them both and packed them back to the truck. It was so hot that day no way I would have got them cooled down quick otherwise.

I use a muddy woodsman climber. Got it for 149.99 no tax and free shippingOriginally posted by HighwayHunter View PostWould y’all recommend a climber or ladder tree stand? Seems like more people use the ladder tree stands, or muddy is just good at advertising. Never used a tree stand before

Lucky you, that’s $100 cheaper than what it is online. The little front bar doesn’t get in your way when shooting?

Nope with a bow I just sit lower so when I stand it is lower down. For rifles it works as a decent shooting stand. It may still be on ruralking.com for 149.99Originally posted by HighwayHunter View PostLucky you, that’s $100 cheaper than what it is online.
