I have been a hunter for 37+ years. This past deer season, I’ve added a new title: “SaddleHunter.” I hunted this past deer season solely from the Tethrd Mantis and it has forever changed how I hunt.

Ridge Merino Journey T-Shirt Review
Moriah Boggess
Right out of the wrapper, the Journey T-shirt from Ridge Merino is very sleek with a smooth, cool feel. The material seems sturdy, yet it’s still a very soft, comfortable shirt. I put this thing to the test right away, shed hunting, working, and turkey hunting multiple times a week, and I have been happy with its performance. Here is what I did and did not like about it.

Andrew Maxwell
As a turkey hunter, the last thing I want to worry about is having to dig around in a pocket in my turkey vest to find a small plastic box that contains the mouth call that I think I need at that exact moment.

James Rigby II
I purchased a ScentLok OZRadial 400B in January of 2019 on the horizon of 2 big hunts I had been waiting all year for. I can tell you the deer on these public tracts were wary and would not tolerate human scent. Every day I spent in the woods I had deer directly downwind of me and…
Bass Pro HPR II Bone Dry Rain Gear Review
Brian Batta
Before I purchased a pair of Bass Pro Shops Bone Dry Rain Gear, I wasn’t sure that spending upwards of $250 was a good move. Although I didn’t like the idea of spending that much, I have owned the Bone Dry HPR II for over 2 years now, and…
Nockturnal Lighted Nocks Review
Matt Poissant
My first few years of archery hunting I didn’t use Nockturnal Nocks. Mainly because I just wasn’t exposed to them. It wasn’t until I had gotten more serious about archery hunting and had shot at a few deer that I realized the benefits that this product could provide.
Steady Form Archery Torque Eliminator Review
