You can definitely ditch the tether. The way youre doing it - its no added value really. As a suggestion, look into the JRB Longhorn Agile hitch. Easy tending, replaces the kong duck, breaks easily under load, non mechanical. It'll serve as your auto block when combined with a simple munter hitch on a carabiner. Might be something to streamline the process.

I put a piece of 550 around my stick in between the cams so they don't slap together. Reduces the noise of the cams and as long as your amsteel is thicker than 550 cord it doesn't hinder it's grip. Happy hunting this season.

Aren't blood-trailing dogs supposed to be leashed in Florida? I don't know if that's still an FWC regulation or not, but it used to be.

What happens when you drop it !! ??

Great Video. The great thing about one sticking is that there are many ways to do it. I climb with my rappel rope as a tether and also use it bring my bow up.

What’s the chances of that ascender failing? It seems like if that fails you’re hitting the ground quick.

I used the muddy pro stick with a two step aider.

Only way to hunt.

Nice camera work and detailed instruction. I picked up on you missing that pulldown rope immediately, I was waiting for you to admit you had to do the climb of shame. By the way, that was some great camera and audio. I know it was in great light but what equipment are you using for that if you don’t mind sharing?

Ok so how do you get down if you drop your 1 stick as your taking loose from the tree to move it up?

Climb any tree, with JRB, tree climbing! Check him out! Be safe, good hunting, and have a great day! Steve

Laura helped me track a deer the next day and was telling me about this track. Her dogs are impressive. Glad it all worked out.

I hunted one stick for a season and hated it until I realized that I was trying to put my stick too high and had to bend down too far to get my stick to move it up. Once I shortened the distance of the stick on the moves, I loved it! Only way to go for me now. Great video.

Nice Video. I love my H2 Saddle. Glad to see you didn't edit out the fact that you forgot your retrieval line. Only suggestion that I have is to climb with your rappel rope. That way you always will have a direct route to the ground should something go wrong when your climbing.

Hey Brother, just a thought. The whole point of one sticking is obviously weight reduction , and safety. - You are ascending the tree with a 9 foot tree tether. Lets say you get up to 15 feet and want to get to 20 feet. You make your next move by getting your stick and then you accidently drop it. There are 3 things that will happen. Option 1. you will be stuck in the tree with no way down because you have no belay device or the rope length to do so. You call an emergency service, and they extract you from the tree - Option 2 . You accidently drop your stick, and your phone is dead. But thank goodness you have a knife. You cut your bridge, and you bear hug the tree all the way down to the ground . Or you try to bear hug the tree and accidently fall and break a leg. You crawl out of the woods and make it home alive. Again, no belay device of sufficient amount of rope. Option 3. You drop your stick on accident, your phone is dead, and you have no knife. You are a dead man hanging without suffecient amount of rope or belay device. - Im sure you done it this way 1000 times, but all it takes is one time you dropping that stick with your set up and you run the risk of dying. - Just say fuck it and get the 40 feet of 3/8 rope with a Mad Rock Safeguard or a Petzl Gri Gri.

This helped me a lot. Good job!

Awesome thanks looking to start saddle hunting thanks in advance 🙏🏽

I recognize that spot ;)

Great buck! Would love to see a pic of the bigger one😉 I like it! Already planning this next season hunts. Looking forward to some new stand sites, that I kinda preselected this past turkey season.

That’s a great video and is real as it gets, I know it’s been a couple years but congratulations keep up the good work!

Damn, if they could clone you id take two😅 I love watching your vids. Great job.

Yes sir 👊

Heck yeah. congrats!

If that doesn’t make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, nothing will

Love watching Florida public land hunting! Its different down here. Thanks for making the video & posting as it make everything harder.👍

👍🏼 great job. Can’t wait for season to open up this year

I am looking forward to this season, luckily pulled tags for Hell N Blazes!!! Did y’all pull tags this year?

Public land legal deer. Always good

I’m new to one stick / rappelling as well. Did it last season here in South Florida. A couple of things I’d be concerned about. 1. If you accidentally drop your rappel rope when you are transitioning to it, you’re stuck. Getting down will be a pain in the neck. 2. If you are climbing with your short tether and the cam cleat comes undone and you lose the stick, you’re stuck. You can put your rappel line on but you’ll probably have to untie the knot in your tether to slide off it or cut it. Then transition to the rappel line. I climb with my rappel line so I always have an escape to ground if I lose my stick or if something goes wrong. I used a quick link last year but am trying the JRB Cinch method this coming season. Along with an auto block and a mammut smart 2.0. Something to think about. Happy hunting.

Its funny how even though he is dead yall still tape his mouth shut. I don’t blame you. If he some how came back from the dead at least his mouth would be bound

Nice! I subscribed!

Do you have a video of how to install the cam cleat onto the climbing stick?

I’d like to see a deer hunt scouting video. It would be helpful to show a couple of new hunters I’m mentoring. Thanks again!

Thanks for a very informative video. I’m still considering a saddle. Also most videos don’t show folks going over a few feet from the ground. You going to hunting height and descending is awesome!

While i understand trying to stay as budget minded as possible safety should still be the top priority. That ropeman is a rope capture device not meant for fall arrest. With all that slack you leave in your tether if your stick were to fall out there is a good chance that ropeman will fail. You can pick up a madrock or vergo for $100 or less and its suited for the application you are using it for. It also offers the advantage of climbing with your rappel rope so if something were to happen you wouldnt have to do anything to self rescue.

Ive been using three sticks with aiders and it's definitely harder than just using a climber. I'll have to try this because I do like the comfort and versatility of being in a saddle

Great video, and nice house too

Stud!!! 🙌🏻

Gotta love it when a plan comes together. Ms. Consistent strikes again. I do enjoy you guys hunting the public lands. I believe we hunt some of the same woods, but I’ll never inquire on line👍😉

This is awesome! Congrats on your buck!

Congrats! One of the best blood trails i have seen with a muzzy!

That’s a good one!.. congrats!👍👎

Awsome hunt dude 💪🏻💥

I'll never saddle hunt lol

Hell ya man where at in Florida? I’d freak out if I saw one that big in palm beach county lol

Nice!
