Found these climbing steps on Craig’s list. He gave 10 of them to me for free. I vaguely remember these steps back in the day but don’t remember the company. Brand new, used once. Anyone know who made these?

When I ordered my RX3 the shop put in the order for the wrong poundage limbs. They ordered the correct ones and I waited an extra couple of weeks and they would install them. Shot it for a bit, found that thread about sight mount issues and got paranoid, now I noticed this and was wondering if it’s how it’s suppose to be? Which I kinda doubt but didn’t want to go in and complain about nothing. Thanks

I read once before (I think on AT) that you can put a corn pile or feeder out, surrounded by a like a fence or rope a certain distance apart and the deer will stick their heads though to feed and when they pull out it can help you collect sheds there….is this true? Has anyone actually done this? Is it legal?

What’s going on posts look like some corp. memo sheet.

Usually I don’t have an issue doing this but this guys rack doesn’t fit what the body tells me and what I know. He has much smaller body than other deer in the area and never has had much of a swollen neck either.

I believe I have/had this guy on camera for 3 years. First year… I left the camera up with the original SD card that had pictures of him and then the place burned down so don’t have the pictures for that year.

2016. Small/similar body to 2017/2018. Rack was hard to tell what he was as he was broken but similar beams to 2016. Had longer G2’s, a busted G3 on one side and at least 1 broken point on the other. Going off memory but at least 90% sure it was the same deer as it had very similar beam mass, shape and width. Only deer in the area with these wide sweeping beams.

2017. Maybe gained a point? Hard tell because he was busted previous year. There was a really bad draught the 2016-2017 winter and then the whole region burned spring of 2017 so he probably didn’t have great forage.

2018. Gained more points. Body about the same so far but a touch better. Lots of rain and good forage this year. Comparing him to the feeder head puts him at about 24.5" outside width. Feeder from bottom to where it meets the PVC is 24" and measuring him and comparing put him slightly wider than 24". Camera about 7 yards away so it should negate any perspective angle illusions.

Now going over it, he had to be a minimum of 2.5 in 2016. I personally guessed him at 3.5 in 2016 based on pictures. Using 2.5/3.5 puts him a minimum 5.5/6.5 this year.

Here’s what gets me. I see his pictures this year and keep thinking that’s a 3.5 or possibly a 2.5 with great genetics but I don’t see 5.5 or 6.5. He is much smaller bodied than other 3.5 to 4.5 deer around. What do you guys see?
