i might get the mission plateform..thats alot of freaking money though for the saddle now a platform..notice how i didnt call it a stand, but a platform.. we saddle hunters call it that

there just jealious there not saddle hunters..non saddle hunters talk that way.. So far after all the information.... im doing the opposite of want swampy is saying..and i got to tell you things are going pretty good now

I saw a newish thread or two about the old String Tracker somewhere in the last year or so ... Apparently that thing is still around. I wonder how long you have to wait before re-introducing an idea the internet mob buried six-feet deep?

LOL ... Well, then it all starts to make sense.

Ancient astronaut theorists, say yes.

I've heard that birds used to be dinosaurs ... Can you confirm?

Good times .... Good times ... :-)

Thanks, it was kinda what I was thinking - basically a terrestrial bowfishing rig.

Here's are just a couple of the old things I found describing it. https://www.huntingnet.com/articles/turkey-hunting-broadheads.html https://www.archerytalk.com/threads/the-tangler-broadhead.657126/page-4

I'm trying to envision the whole thing and cannot. Is there a spool of line so you can reel the flying turkey in after it has been skewered and is still alive? Adding weight to the nock-end of an arrow is um...not good.

i definitely don't recall it not expanding until exit. The key word being "recall" ... My impression at the time was that it was lethal enough in competent hands, but that everyone was objecting to the snagging and snaring.

I've never seen one up-close, nor can I find any of the videos of it in use still online...but from the old still-findable discussions on it I've seen I doubt that there was a better way to present it. Unless I'm missing something, it was an expensive, overly complicated gizmo that added a lot of weight to an arrow and wasn't (and still isn't) legal for use on turkey in most states due to the fact that the broadhead did not expand until AFTER exiting the animal (though I'm still not clear on whether or not that really was the case, nor how the design would make that happen). The descriptions of the promotional video the inventor released make it sound pretty cringe-worthy, with wounded animals (including turkeys, rabbits, et al) flopping around the ground after being anchored by a shot with an arrow that was the functional equivalent of a field point in terms of lethality.

:pop::pop::pop: :wave:

I never used one, Chris, but was in touch with the inventor when his product met the internet. He was taking a lot of grief about it and I had a little back-and-forth with him on back channels about how it could be presented better. My recollection is that he was on the verge of selling the design to a larger entity (or pushing toward that), so at that point I bowed out.

Well, those are givens. But also, she has to have a certain special something...

What about a fanatical devotion to the pope? Oh, what dark times are these.

Also, it would be great if she had huge ... tracts of land ....

Someone nice... And not too expensive ....

What I really need now is a cameraman ... Bueller... Bueller?...

I'll see what I can do. I'm in getting-ready-to-fish mode now. Well, that and cleaning up some other messes .... But I'll see if I can pull some gear together and at least get a quick impression.

From what I've read and seen on videos, the saddle is supposed to be more comfortable for long sits. Why don't you do an all day hunt sitting in a rock harness and report back to us?

^^^^^^^^^^^

I do not recall that ...

One thing that's been nagging me for a while (that has to do with hunting): Why not just hunt out of a rock harness? Is it an angle of the tether or tether and bridge thing? Is wearing the "diaper" supposed to be more comfortable? Maybe I'm missing something simple .... Wait ...
