    Help with my Ameristeps please

    X2 on the aerohunter pouch. I wear the saddle in and use the pouch to haul in gear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Calling All Ameristep Users!

    I have both the platform and Ameristeps. I kept going back to ROS for public land because I could set up the ring much faster than I could set up my platform. I would buy a manufactured product that fits in a small dump pouch. Portability is key to me, as is speed of setup. Sent from my...

    New to forum. SW Missouri.

    Welcome! I’m a Southwest Missouri State grad myself. I currently have an aerohunter evo and hunted with it last year. It’s a good saddle but it is a little bulky compared to the newer models coming out. I ordered a mantis to shed bulk and weight. Good news is that there are more options coming...

    How to Carry Lone Wolf Sticks?

    Lots of ways a guy could do it, but I used an old camelbak backpack for my really lightweight setup. Any small backpack could work. I locked my sticks together, fished some rubberized gear ties through the molle loops, and twisted it around the four sticks so it was tight. It was really simple...

    How did you hear about saddlehunter??

    I was unsuccessful after two years hunting public land and was searching for better tactics. I read John E’s book and wound up on SH soon thereafter. With the climber, I spent more time hunting trees than deer. I like leaving that ball and chain at home. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I see velvet ...

    They’re back! Three bachelors roamed through the yard this morning right in front of my targets. The pic is a little grainy, but seeing antlers coming in always gets me excited for the season. It’ll be here before you know it! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    First responder and military discounts

    Experticity is pretty awesome. I was a LEO up until last year and got all my First Lite and Vortex gear through them. There were 100+ brands I had access to discounts on. Size and availability is sometimes limited, but the stuff in stock is a great deal. If you’re eligible check it out. Sent...

    Don’t think I can get much lighter.....

    You can help the rest of us come up with alibis for our wives when we spend even more money on saddle gear. Mine has already heard “G2 made me do it” one too many times. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Howdy from NOVA

    Thanks gents. Sorry I am just getting back to you now but I recently moved to a farm and am just getting my head straight- a deadline such as hunting season will focus the mind on what's really important! There appears to be a lot of deer around, so I hope to contribute more as I learn in the...

    Hello from Northern Virginia

    Thanks, Have you hunted the FFX parks before? My first year there, and first season in the saddle, so I don't claim to know anything! Send me a PM if you want to compare notes sometime. I'll buy the first round! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hello from Northern Virginia

    I absolutely will- it looks pretty promising! I see deer most days, and turkeys too, but haven't had time to scout or prep at all. I had already applied for the parks before we acquired the farm, and one can never have too much hunting land access. I might use the parks for filling the freezer...

    Hello from Northern Virginia

    Welcome! Another NOVA hunter here. I just moved to a farm in Fauquier County from Fairfax county. But I won the lottery and will be hunting Fairfax County parks near Bull Run this year. My setup for public land this year will be my new Aero Hunter w/ sticks and Ameristep platform. I hope it will...

    HuntStand

    I couldn't find a print button either. A workaround would be to take a screenshot on your computer and paste it to a PowerPoint. 1) Zoom into the area you want to print, 2) hold down [shift] then hit the [print screen] key on your keyboard. 3) open a new PowerPoint document 4) paste that...
