    Last Hunt of the Season - 2/17/24

    I'm hunting a small private spot and am sitting in my saddle; got settled in around 3:30pm (EST). Just a short while ago I noticed a big bodied deer about 100 yds away but it vanished shortly after. A few minutes later I spot it again and can see it's a doe. She just bedded down. So now the...

    Cruzr XC - Help Needed

    I'm currently using a Cruzr XC (size 2) on a limited basis. The reason why I haven't used it much more is that it's just not comfortable for me, despite all the claims that it's one of the most comfortable saddles out there. I've spoken with Cruzr about it and they believe that my discomfort is...

    Saddle Pouch Recommendations Needed

    I'm currently using a Fleece & Cowboy Suede tall pouch from EWO and am interested in replacing it. While it works, I'd like to get something that has a separate pocket to put my dynaglide and extra carabiner in. I'm not interested in spending a fortune on this but I'd like some suggestions. What...

    Using a Running Bowline Instead of a Quick Link

    So I was watching a recent YouTube video by Jason @Traditional Bowhunting and Wilderness Podcast where he talks about eliminating the quick link and using a running bowline on his tether. His reasoning was because the quick link tends to slide down the tree due to its weight; I couldn't agree...

    Cold Weather Saddle Hunting

    So I know that I haven't hunted out of my saddle alot, I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that I don't believe I'll be able to hunt out of one when the weather is cold. My main reason is because if I put all of my layers on before I climb, I'll be a sweaty mess by the time I'm at hunting...

    Tree Diameter Preference for Saddle Hunting

    So I'm literally in my saddle on my 3rd saddle hunt ever and am trying to figure out if this is for me. This will be part 1 of a 2 part Q&A post related to my findings. So as a treestand hunter, I have always preferred the biggest diameter tree I could get into because it gave me the most...

    One Sticking - Tips and Tricks Needed

    I've jumped into the saddle/one sticking world and I was finally able to make it out and try my hand at it. I did 3 climbs with 1 and 2 resets of my one stick. As you can probably imagine, some things went well and others went not so good. The biggest issue I kept having was moving my rappelling...

    Ascending with Figure 8

    I've recently purchased the gear needed to one stick and repel, but unfortunately EWO didn't have any stock of the Mad Rock Safeguards. As a result, I wound up getting a Figure 8 and an autoblock. I know I can repel with configuration but I'm not sure how to ascend with it. How do I do it? David

    Help with Cruzr XC

    So I really need your help... I just bought my first saddle Cruzr XC size 2. Some facts about me... 5'7" and 170 lbs (fairly lean). In any case, I literally just received this saddle and like a kid in a candy shop, I put it on and tested it out last night. I hooked it up to the round support...

    Sewn Aider vs UltimAider

    I'm sure I'm overthinking my purchase of a one stick from EWO, but I'm stuck on whether to get a sewn aider or an UltimAider. The stick will be 15" and I believe I could do a 17" step, but then again, that's while wearing a pair of jeans. So maybe I should go with a 15" step??? On the other...

    "Saddle" Hunting with a Rock Climbing Harness

    So I'm looking into buying a one sticking and rappelling setup and most likely using my Beast treestand for hunting, but I keep hearing that I should dump the stand for a saddle. I've got severe reservations about saddle hunting because I don't like to shoot my xbow facing the tree; I much...
