I use a lone wolf hand climber top. Have for 4-5 seasons. I’m glad people are coming around to the idea and coming up with better options. It really is the fastest way to climb a tree, especially with 30ft of rope and a madrock safeguard. It was a game changer for me. The only real downside side is parts of the Midwest I hung are low and limby trees. Sticks or ground hunting are a must at that point.
re: Recommendations For Battery Powered Lights and Dehumidifier for Safe
Posted by TexasHand on 12/6/25 at 12:52 pm to alduckhunter
Hornady safe light on Amazon. It is motion activated and takes batteries. Can’t help you with the dehumidifier, I’ve always used a goldenrod. I’ve heard folks say damp-rid works but I can’t verify that.
There is no rubber stamp answer…. There are a pile of quality options out there as I stated above. I choose to put my 7 year old daughter behind and 26” barrel full size .243 because for me, it’s the best option and I know if she does her job, it’s game over. My rule is simple, I don’t care if it’s a .35 Whelen (hammer), a .300 win mag (hammer) or a .243, she better be able to hit a pie plate at 100 yards on command. We need to take less pride in the weapon and more pride in teaching these kids what an ethical kill means and why it’s important.
It’s a bang flop or it’s not…. No matter if it’s an 06 or a .243. I’ve had to call dogs on deer hit with 06s, .270s and on and on. Inside 200 yards, a 30-06 or a .243, bullet construction and shot placement matter. Now, the game changes when you start sectioning it out. BUT for kids? It’s hard to beat .243 with 100 grain interlocks. Fellas, we kill the piss out of them with 100gr broadheads with mostly marginal shots lol…..a .243 is plenty plenty of gun
We had 7yr old, a 6yr old and a 9yr old in camp this weekend take their first deer. All does, all in the 150lb range, 2 shot with 100gr interlocks and the other shot with 100gr core lokts (which I hate lol) and all within 125yds…..none left the food plot and 2 never took another step. I dunno how much reference you need but I’ve seen it happen too many times. A bad shot is a bad shot, no matter what you hit them with. Bullet construction and placement matter. If they can’t hit a pie plate at 100, they can’t go, full stop.
People that say .243 = “injury” are retarded lol. I’ve personally seen truck loads of deer folded like a lawn chair with 100gr Hornady Interlock. There’s so many good options out there now…350 legend, 6.5 creed, suppressed 6.5 prc is very manageable, 7mm-08, .308, 25-06, .260. BUT .243winny is really hard to beat with the right ammo.
I have the CVA Crossfire. It’s a tac driver with 100gr federal charges (orange) and 290gr Barnes TEZ. I love mine!
Total of 1100 sqft over concrete slab. I’ve laid tile a few times so I’m accustomed to a sore back lol. I refuse to pay someone 3k to do something I can knock out. Me and YouTube go wayyy back. Figured I’d ask you fellas that may have experience with it.
DIY LVP install…tell me what I need to know.

re: New to deer hunting and will be on public land. Best mobile stand set up to get up a tree
Posted by TexasHand on 11/17/25 at 8:06 pm to GravelLotinCanada
Early season I use a lone wolf sit and climb top at my climbing device and an arsenal saddle, 30ft of rope and a madrock safeguard. It’s my favorite way to climb because I despise sticks. Late season or places where there are no climb able trees, I hunt from the ground.

Listen, Robb can’t help he’s an idiot
At least Toyota will replace it…. Unlike my F150 transmission.
Anyone else get hit with the Tundra recall today?
Posted by TexasHand on 11/7/25 at 12:10 pm
I can’t be the only one. Called the dealership, they said “give us a couple months, we have to send our techs to school”…… this should go well.
Has anyone taken Terbinafine aka Lamisil?
Posted by TexasHand on 11/7/25 at 9:01 am
Doc recommended for my toenail issue but, having to do liver tests and the issues I’ve read online caused some hesitation. Anyone with experience would be appreciated.
I know they aren’t the new fad but I love my Drake non Typical stand hunters jacket. I wear all the fancy base layers but for a 199$ jacket, it’s really really good. It has the pads in the back for free stand hunting, a hang hook and the shoulder straps to carry it but not wear it ….it also has a hole for a harness

It is heavy…. It’s the lighter of the two models and it’s not a hike around the mountains rifle BUT it will flat shoot.
Honestly…. I’ve got a scope in the safe that needs a home. It may be merry Christmas to me this year lol.
Tikka T3 ACE Game is a shooter
Posted by TexasHand on 10/21/25 at 8:49 pm
A close friend of mine purchased one chambered in 6.5prc. I mounted the vortex scope and ran it through its paces out to 1k. I’m not sure I’ve personally shot an off the shelf rifle that will shoot like that. I walked away impressed.
