DIY Shooting Sticks for Big Game
March 28, 2024 by Gildas
Gildas here at Riverside Lodge of Manitoba Canada. Here to give you a little video on a great tip for making some ethical shots. To make shooting sticks is very inexpensive. You will need a piece of string two sticks you got yourself a great rest all you need to do quick to deploy you see something you want to take a shot at you want to make a good clean ethical shot you got an instant rest. It works great and takes away the side to side movement and up and down movement, which makes very very sturdy shot. This helps with hunters making good clean shots which is what we all want to do.
Bye for now.

too much rainfall in a very short time right in the middle of our busiest weeks. Nature added another 6 inches of water to already soaking wet fields making field access almost impossible. On fields that we could hunt sleighs full of decoys and blinds had to be walked in load after load. Finding a dry spot to laydown in was not possible, so everyone endured a very wet hunt from all sides. Read MoreAttention waterfowl hunters
