The last thing I wanted to do was learn a new hunting system.I put up a brave fight against peer pressure, but ultimately caved. I’m in my second season of stacking up deer from saddles and ultralight hang-on stands while my climbing stands collect dust. I hate to admit it, but the masses were right. Mobile hunting is undeniably deadly for whitetails, but it can be…
