Solunar Major and Minor are posted for each day. Easy to find. I am a Red Moon Sub and it is pretty darn accurate.

I love On X🖤🖤🖤🖤

I've read a lot of results of deer collared with GPS studies. It's clear in those results that moon phases and moon under foot and overhead had no effect on deer movement. I've been fortunate to be able to hunt all most every day of the archery season for over the past 20 years, and I hunt in 5 different states. For many years I compared the moon under foot and overhead to deer movement I experience, and I found no influence one way or the other. But what I have noticed is weather has more effect on deer movement than anything else does. Many of the well-known hunters who do believe in some type of moon influence have also said weather trumps everything. I also believe hunting pressure, lack of scent control, and noise can influence deer movement way more than the moon can.

While not a dedicated hunting app, Gaia GPS should be something you look at too. I mountain bike and so TrailForks is a must have for me. I got the Outside+ bundle that comes with Gaia and TrailForks. I was pleasantly surprised with Gaia, and it's what I use now.

You legend, thanks for this vid. subbed!

So Mark says x-amount of days before N/M in October, i have set out last 2yrs, do to neck issues and surgery, i put in for last week of October on reason being last year bucks were moving in the day light. I can't do mornings hunting until 9/9:30 . So what do you and or Mark suggest changing vacation to before October full moon or move it to November before full moon?

I use Wendy's It's great

Half a climber for twice the cost? What the hell are these scam artists thinking?

This is super helpful. Thank you!

My current cellular trail camera got stolen (bushnell cellucore). I loved the onX hunt app, but (my camera at least) has no gps tracking. Now I am considering who has the most anti theft features & leaning a bit towards Spartan Golive 2. They know what they doing with the security features & the internal battery. Data seems expensive so I think I need to look at going to a carrier myself. But the spypoint flex seems to have great image quality & priced better so I'm not sure yet.

Thanks , want to go to cellular . Watch youtube ! alot says 80 foot range will not get it . fast trigger speed missed the first picture (3 picture burst ). Still don't know what I want ? Am looking hard at the tactacam but now will check out the moultrie too .

I think if you use the actual ratio of comparison of two number and divide the cutting surface number by the penetration, then multiply by 100 you could use you data to equate the expected momentum loss during penetration of your test medium. Here are the numbers I came up with: Dead meat: 16% Whitetail special: 13.6% Sevr 2.0: 9.18% Sevr 1.75: 6.6% Rage Hypo: 10.4% Mega Meat: 17% I’m actually going to figure a way to put this into my penetration calculator I’ve been working on. Thanks for the idea. Great work on the video.

$500 for half a climber is absolutely ridiculous and robbery, they can keep all of them. I'M OUT 🤑

The problem im having off the bat is youre basing a lot of the cutting edge versus the actual wound channel size. For example, if an expandable is using two inch and a half blades, thats not making a 3 inch cut because the geometry of those swept back blades means the wound channel has to be smaller. Thats why nc hypodermic rage broadheads are only advertised as 2 inch cuts. Thats the actual cut diameter despite the total amlunt of exposed edge being more than 2 inches.

Thanks boss great review

That's the problem with those gel blocks the blades never seem to function correctly

I saved a bunch of money and just started using the bottom section of my summit... Plenty of room, grips a tree like crazy, already familiar with the system. Why would I buy something I already have ? The hunting industry is already flooded with crazy crazy high prices on everything else.

Windy is an awesome app. It had so many features, no ads despite it being free, and so customizable I needed to set up an account to store my settings. Its also cool that it stores the settings on a desktop if you log into the Windy website. It could use a little fine tuning in its accuracy but if they get that improved its an awesome app. It just takes a little bit of a learning curve because the forecast tile has so much information but not much labeled on the daily forecast. As for Wunderground, I used to love this app but IBM just doesn’t seem to have any interest in supporting it much. Its gone several years with no change or additional new features and all updated were reserved for its sister app TWC. Very disappointed with Wunderground as of late.

You are correct ... need to get hands on to make a real decision. Unfortunately, for most of us it is not possible to get hands on every model out there. And that's what makes your reviews so good. Looking online at the various different models, designs, harnesses and closure systems ... I thought that Badlands and Marsupial were leading the pack with the front open magnet designs. That you have selected Badlands as your new No. 1 says a lot. Thanks.

Great review !

Your paper analysis provided low scores for some of the most comfortable saddles I've owned and used. That's why it's nice if people can go to shows or stores and try saddles out. It's hard to get a "feel" for a saddle when just reading about it. I hope you're able to find a new saddle that fits your needs. *The Hunt Arsenal Cloud is like hunting out of a hammock. Although I don't love the web-based bridge, its all-day comfort is hard to beat. *The Overwatch Outdoors Transformer is like a favorite pair of jeans that just fits right every time. Where other saddles require multiple adjustments to dial in comfort, the Transformer automatically takes care of it with the auto-sliding webbing and D-loops. *The Timber Ninja Black Belt Ultimate is everything you want in a saddle but aren't willing to pay for. The inside of the saddle is padded and I don't get any hip pinch. It is a saddle I reach for during all-day rut hunts, and I do mean all-day in one tree without getting down. *I owned and sold the CGM Cobra. It's a good saddle and one of the best companies on your list, but I generally find two-panel saddles more comfortable than one-panel saddles.

Thank you for taking the time to do this video .

Loved the video, subbed. I may test that bowmar head out. They are pretty expensive, but look pretty awesome. I've shot the sevr head a lot. They do the job.

"Comparison is the thief of joy."

I love G5 broadheads, however this year I am going with a B3 2 blade exo 125g.

I heard Osprey LAA has concerning issues. The design currently cannot handle the load when stood on?

Thank you for the review. It is the first time we see a comparison based on a variety of criteria. The category will keep evolving and there is sun for everyone. Good luck this season!

The Grim Reaper only had 2 blades open sp wouldnt you need to base your wound channel performance in this case off the 2 blades, not 3?

The Barron Ridge Stands are not tube steel.

Regarding fire maple not being stable on the burner. It has notches on the rim that are meant to lock cup into place. If not aligned properly it will be flimsy.

This guy seems bias against Spartan. Spartan has come so far and offers more features in a small amount of time.

This is crazy, i just downloaded Spartan and its better and more festure rich than these ones that have been around forever.

I cannot find the Osprey lean ascent assault website. Osprey is a major backpack and outdoor equipment company and would not be into saddle hunting. So the Osprey hunting product company will never be found whe doing a search.

Reapers all day!! I love them . I’ve never had an issue with them. Wts and carnifour are both absolutely devastating.

Hey thanks for the information good video. I was wondering if you have done or could do a review of Gaia GPS app?

I thought the megas were 2" not 1.25"?

XOP is supposed to come out with one. Where are they?

Every since Moultrie got bought out a few years ago their customer service and products have gone to trash. Squirrels can literally chew through their feeders now. They cut corners to save money like crazy. I’ll stick with Tactacam.

@HuntDetail , I looked at the cheatsheet but considereing some of the updates (including putting HuntStand at the very bottom of the list) .... .... in your opinion who has the better private property line overlay...and interface to see it quickly then get it out of the way (Gaia, or Huntwise....or one of the others?) .....I know Gaia comes up short as a hunting app....but in mybcase that is OK....private property is overlay is becoming my only feature for consideration other than having the actual State by State hunting units. Thanks for taking on the task of comparing all of these .....I really did try to sort this detail out for myself before asking but it is weirdly difficult to do so .....maybe property lines are better marked in the places most folks hunt.... but here in Colorado people get really grumpy/intense about it ....maybe owing to how much development is ongoing and failure to upkeep markers and/or fence lines.

I’m glad to see someone on KZbin chiming in about this category. My preference is an srt preset loop. Doesn’t work for going in blind to new places. So, I myself just ordered the broadside mark 2 recently. (Loved the mark1 (didn’t buy it) but it was missing the features they put in mark2). I asked myself what I needed, looked through every elevated deer kill I’ve had over the last 5 years, and In over half those trees I could have used that very easily. The saddle/rap line, plus some knowledge/practice/ and a multi step aider, and my thought is I can use it to one-stick with a platform if necessary (hate one sticking but It’s useable if needed). use it like a climber but bypass limbs due to the saddle, or use it to climb a couple different ways in the same run up to get where I need to be if necessary. The main thing I like is how small dia it goes, and with their large tree cord how large a tree it can go on. Very vast range. I think people aren’t seeing these as a multi-use climbing method, only seeing it as a climber, which with a treestand safety harness they’re right it’s limiting. With a saddle it’s not nearly as limiting, and it’s easier/more efficient than one-sticking by far for me. Yet it could be used to one stick also, and then you take the cable off and you have a nice giant platform to run for srt presets. I feel it’s a good buy due to the versatility when you add some climbing knowledge and aiders to the mix.

I don't see any video, just a black screen???

Not bad for first attempt. U learned alot. That all counts. Respect to all who film their hunts. Good luck on future endeavors.

The beast definitely interests me but I love the sevr broad heads

Blades are thin on mega meat. They will bend and break. Havent seen blades break on sevr

Good video just as Josh said and good luck this year

Good group of stoves to compare. Any plans on testing outside? Testing outside with a 7-10 mph wind would emulate most mountain hunting situations. For me the Piezo igniter is a deal breaker, as they seem to fail often. Or at least as much as I use a stove.

I know I’m very late to the party here, but I’m just now shopping for a Bino harnesses to take with me on a western hunt this fall. I picked up the Badlands x2 at Cabela’s about a week ago and today I just ordered the Eberlestock Recon. When it comes in I’ll do a side by side comparison to see which one I’ll keep. But the biggest selling point for me to order the Recon is the fact that the chest strap tightens by pulling it forward; a big plus in my opinion over those that tighten in rearward (awkward) motion. You didn’t mention that in your review; perhaps the Recon a year ago didn’t tighten to the front and this change was made.

awesome video dude!

No one really talks about the price difference
