I know there's some monsters out there I wish they'd do at least a draw hunt or something they are way over populated

@@ETCarbonSlinger yea it's not a perfect fix but it'll keep them from passing all the way through and losing or breaking arrows and best part is when it wears out it can be done again 😂 got to love cheap people

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 not cheap at all brother. It's smart. I'd rather spend $20 & 1 day fixing something then to spend $100 & wait atleast 2 days for it to arrive

@@tray22 that's smart never thought of that

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 it's like lights on a boat.

I gotcha I generally hunt alone so that wouldn't really interest me having a light back there but putting it up at the blood trail if you had to come back makes a lot of sense and it would make sense for grid searching also if you did hunt with multiple people. That's why I like people being able to leave comments bc everyone hunts different and you can always learn something new. Thanks a lot man.

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 another really cool trick is to take a laser pointer into your stand and fix it so it is pointing where your deer was standing when you shot so you find blood faster. I put it on a camera mount clamped to a limb or my stand.

@tray22 lol you need to be doing videos about all thi stuff lol

Heck yea good luck man

@@hunteranglin3750 I understand. I had never used a mechanical before until these and have no real world experience with any other mechanical but so far I have had a lot of success with these. You have to hunt with what you have confidence in and I completely get that. Until these give me a reason to not run them I have complete confidence in them from my experience with them. Good luck this season.

@@Tmpr111 I like the mega meats but all the g5 stuff is expensive lol. Quite a bit more than the swhacker anyways.

Yea that's what I was thinking too

@@plebny thanks any suggestions 😂

Any tips on keeping your feet warm from absorbing the cold from the platform.I use a EWO one stick and it's very noticable.Ive been having to wear an old pair of hot moccs that I modified over the front of my boot.

@@jaymorris7850 I got to say I've tried all kinds of different boots and all I know for sure is any rubber style boot isn't keeping your feet warm for long period. I'm still trying to find that answer myself but for sure stay away from rubber boots even insulated ones. They make my feet sweat and freeze. If you come up with a good solution let me know I'd appreciate it 😂

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I definitely will.I don't usually have a problem with cold feet except for when I use that platform.I lean and sit.

I'm thinking of trying an insulated leather boot this year idk though so far once it gets real cold I'm as lost as anyone on how to keep them warm.

@mgodbee heck yea I was same way I started late in life lol. I learned most everything from CZcams too. I'm in northwest GA haven't ever hunted in middle or south ga not sure what terrain is like around there honestly focus on basics like food and cover that's what I have done and while I'm not exactly killing monsters I do ok lol. Just enjoy it and learn all you can from anyone my first year on public here I didn't kill a single deer but I learned a lot. Check out southern outdoorsman podcast I've picked up a ton on there

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 hey man a freezer full of meat and time out in the woods is all I need haha. Thanks, I'll check them out man!

@@gordonc615 yea I'll give you that they do have some sharper parts but I've got used to it and don't seem to notice it anymore. Maybe subconsciously I just work around it and that's why I don't notice it lol.

I agree. Best stick for that price range. Skeletors are probably the best budget stick

@@Rooster_king I did not know that lol I knew they'd come out with different versions since this one I thought this was the first though lol learn something new all the time. What's the difference between this one and a first gen?

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 The first gen had less aluminum casting and different web pattern near the standoff portion of the platform. There were several that snapped so they beefed it up a bit.

@@ETCarbonSlinger I got a buddy who hunts in socks and sandals lol we hunted in January like that lol says his feet sweat too bad for anything else lol I was cold just watching him

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 wow that's crazy but kudos to him. Wish I had that problem lol.

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 definitely worth buying those insulated.boot covers and trying a saddle.sit with hey dudes... may have to buy some insulators now just to find out lol

@@ETCarbonSlinger hard to beat for the money

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I believe it. I'd have my 360 by now if I didn't upgrade my front bumper on my truck, plan to get a 12,000lb winch next week for it cause I don't wanna get stuck again this year like last year.

I just discovered this issue with the adapter. Like you, I figured I could just plug it in. Off to buy an adapter. Thanks!

@@CoppertopCruiser no problem least it's not expensive 😂

@@CoppertopCruiser there's a link to the one we ordered in the description of video I'm not sponsored and doesn't help me in any way just thought it would help people find it easier.

@@chrishall745 that's awesome man. There's alot of benefits people don't realize

@@ETCarbonSlinger 😂 yea I only had one stick up and the platform was probly 4ft off the ground lol. That's me the saddle is so much easier for me to shoot from. Aside from hunting from a ladder stand behind my house 1 time I haven't sat in anything except the saddle for last 3 seasons I think

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I got my ladder stand that's good for rifle but has zero room to stand up and shoot from. I definitely dig the mobile aspect of saddle hunting.

Hey broski. Been E scouting some public land for GA opening since my license is still good till end of Nov this year. Wanna gonna come down and do a weekend stay. Was checking out one spot but wanted an opinion. Can I give you my number or email and perhaps get some advice.

@@ETCarbonSlinger yea send me whichever I'll holler atyou

@@ETCarbonSlinger hey look up chickamaugabowhunter on tiktok you can pm me there so your info aint out there for everyone to see lol

@@linsusie6111 check this out may help but I have never heard of those.

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 OK, thank you very much, I will go and watch this video. I hope you can also give a review on the “Keaup lighted nocks or Broadheads”. It sells well on Amazon, but unfortunately few people can give useful review information.

I have not. Have you checked John lusks channel? Lusk Archery Adventures is the best place to find more broadhead reviews than anywhere else on CZcams. Good luck.

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 OK, thank you very much, I will go and watch this video. I hope you can also give a review on the “Keaup lighted nocks or Broadheads”. It sells well on Amazon, but unfortunately few people can give useful review information.

I know I'm pumped man. I'm off the whole week of the 4th and I'm scouting a bunch that week some new places I haven't hunted yet. That's a great grinder for the money. You can go up in power on them but that one will work perfect for what we do I have zero complaints with it.

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I'm off that week too and plan to do the same thing. Lol. Been working alot lately to make up for the time off I plan to take this season. Between GA and Tn. I plan to drop alot of doe.

@@ETCarbonSlinger I love it. Everyone gives me a hard time about the number of does I shoot but I have 2 teenagers plus me and my wife we eat a lot of deer meat. That's all we use for everything now. I very rarely buy beef or anything else at the store bc my wife uses deer to cook with either ground or whatever else we eat it daily lol. So not a whole lot gets a pass from me 😂

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 i hear you there bro. If it's brown it's going down. Meat is meat for me. I'll let a little spike and basket 6 walk but if it's a doe she's going down forsure. Yea I've. Noticed the quality in beef go down alot these past few years. Not like it used to be.

@@ETCarbonSlinger we eat deer almost exclusively now. I mean if we go out to eat that's different but at home it's deer. One year we ran out of deer meat about 2 months before season and had to go back to beef and man it tore our stomachs all up for real idk why but something in it was messing us up

Not 100 percent sure I used 8mm and it definitely had to be shaved but 9mm may not. I'd say if you had to shave it then it wouldn't be by much at all. I did use 10mm on my aiders on my hawks and I think it for sure would've worked without shaving hope this helps lol

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067yes thank you!

@@wvbowhunter1 whatever you go with try it out low on the tree climb the stick put all your weight and watch the rope it should bite and tighten but if it slips or loosens just shave a little and put it back together and try again. The shaving process doesn't affect the structural integrity at all bc you still have that big bolt running through it so don't let it intimidate you its really not a big deal. Good luck and be safe.

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 appreciate the feedback

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067 so I have a quick follow up question. I’m doing this now and I shaved it down to 8/16”. It holds on a tree no problem but doesn’t look like the ropes biting. It obviously is, but do you think I should go more or that’s fine. I’m worried about going too short. Thanks.

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I'll definitely get it ordered broski.

Yes sir that's what it's all about I'm sure you will love those sticks they are phenomenal. Good luck this season and if you ever have questions throw them in here somewhere.

Brother I use the free version of cap cut to edit and while it's not hard to use even for me the 360 software is absolutely awesome you can do so much stuff on it and trim long clips into smaller clips so easily. I wish I could edit my gopro footage with the 360 app even the desktop version of it which has less options than the one my wife has on her iPad is still way better and more user friendly for people like us who don't do this stuff alot lol. You do need caput to make the final videos for like CZcams but I edit the 360 footage in the 360 app first then save it and put it in my videos where I want it in cap cut but it is really simple for sure

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 thanks for the advice. Looks like I need to knock the dust off my laptop and download cap cut. I'll definitely be looking Into that. 360 is already In the shopping cart for the next purchase

@@ETCarbonSlinger cap cut is the easiest free video editing software I found. They have a paid version too but the free one works fine for what I'm doing lol. I ain't trying to make the best videos out there just trying to let people see what I'm doing and maybe that helps someone get ideas or at least see what they don't want to do 😂

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 that's what it's all about bro. Helping and inspiring.

Never been a fan of blinds too many blind/unshootable spots for me personally plus I'm pretty sure I'm part monkey I'd rather be in a tree all day

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 lol. I'm 100% with u there. I mainly got it for turkey season when it rains and the kid can play with it in the living room lol but I hear u on the part monkey lmao

Yes sir good luck to you too

how you liking those tetherd one sticks.

@@handymannyetpb9048 I absolutely love them best money I've spent in a while

And I have 7 total coils wrapped on mine. Yours may not need that many depending on the size of the line vs the size of the swabish hitch line

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 thanks bro. I put on a one handed assist on my prusik but some times it bites so hard I gotta play with it to loosen. I just swapped my line over to 1/8th inch but my tether is 3/16 with a full burry.

@@ETCarbonSlinger yea you shouldn't need as many wraps as me for it to bite hard enough but in my experience the swabisch definitely bites just as hard but loosens back up like 10 times easier

What do you mean 1 handed assist?

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 the little metal loops that come with the amsteel rope wench lines. I wrapped mine with paracord and attached one to my saddle where my bridge attaches, and then one on my tether line.

I am 5'9 and I can hit 21ft almost 22 comfortably to the top of my top stick. A taller person with longer legs could probably do better than that lol

That's with an 18 inch aider on all four sticks also

Yes sir

That's genius lol I wish I'd have thought of that hopefully people read the comments like I do and will see this suggestion lol save them some aggravation

@@chickamaugabowhunter2067had the same struggle with my bino harness bungee and range finder and discovered that technique then lol Also for anyone looking to do something similar, the same technique worked well for the paracord at the top of the steps. Just tie the braid on and cut the paracord as close to the braid as you can (helps keep it compact)

@@trentkennajames thanks this will help someone I'm sure

I think you'll love them. I ain't sold on a single brand of anything I go with what I like most hints the tethrd sticks and cruzr saddle but in my opinion those one sticks are really hard to beat once you silence them

Luckily, they have pre cut stealth strips I ordered with the sticks. But that light weight is hard to pass on. Anyway, I can shed weight efficiently climbing through the mountains I will do it.

@@andrewsheppard9084 I understand I went from full length hawks to these and the weight difference is insane you don't realize how light they are till you get them in your hands honestly

Just go slow and spin the arrow slowly while cutting it keeps it from fraying the carbon. If you have any older crap or broke arrows practice on them you'll see what I mean. It's a good cheap option but there are tricks to it to make the cut smoother.

If you just use it like a chop saw seems like it frays the carbon but even though it's not an actual arrow saw it does work fine if you go slow and spin the arrow.

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I appreciate the heads up on that. Thanks bro. Hope everything's been well for you. Works been crazy on my end, and only 1 more week till turkey season starts

Yea I been trying to get a video out for 2 or 3 weeks but been so busy working myself haven't had time lol

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 it happens bro. Family and life first

Not really warm. They are light as any tennis shoe I've worn they dont feel like a boot at all. I like them pretty good so far they have held up fine for me.

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 thanks brother. Those cold wet mornings get me every time and doubling up on socks they always bunch up within hours. Definitely need to find something before turkey opening

@ETCarbonSlinger honestly I haven't found anything boot wise that keeps my feet warm once it's in the 30s and below lol and I've got about 6 different pairs of hunting boots lol double socks is my go to no matter what boot I wear if it's real cold but then feet sweat and get cold eventually anyways

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I was gonna say that about feet sweat too... guess that's all part of hunting. I've heard of these boot covers/insulators. Like giant slippers for your boots pretty much.

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 check out artic shield boot insulators.

Yea was only thing I could think of to add weight but not too much and I had them already so just made sense

No problem figured it'd be easier to show than try and explain I suck at explaining stuff sometimes 😂

@chickamaugabowhunter2067 I hear you there. I'm definitely a more hands on visual kinda guy so this helped allot. Just set up the sprinkler system for the clover plot after work today and weather is showing a week of rain. Saves on my water bill lol

@@ETCarbonSlinger shoot yea be knocking them down at home next season

Hey I’ve made this same mistake before too. It’s coming undone because your locked Brummell is not correct. I wish I knew how to explain without showing. Done correctly that thing is solid.

@@jkamp752 the brummel stays tight it seemed. Just where the bury starts where it feeds into itself was trying to push out some idk but seems to be rock solid now lol but you may be on to something I am new to all this amsteel nonsense lol
