    Coming Soon

    Classic saddle hunter thread derailment in full force.... Everything I have always done has been for the hunters and the people. I have never tried to build my "outdoor" brand. While most people try to get into the outdoor industry, I don't want to be a part of it. I am a typically hunter who...

    Coming Soon

    After a full season of testing the mesh version of the kestrel, it will be available soon. We don’t like to release a product without thorough testing of safety, duablilty and longevity through the conditions experienced during a full hunting season. The main thing we learned from this season...

    a secret

    It’s a G2 (possible the SH guys building the platform) collaboration with Sit Drag, 2” wider 2” taller sitdrag, mesh with some safety features. There is a lot going on behind the scenes in the saddle world so...... it’s getting interesting. Thanks, Boswell

    If you could change anything about the kestrel what would it be?

    Yet it took us so long to develop, we had the Kestrel about 90% done since 2014, it wasn’t until we came up with the adjuster strap that we felt we had a product worth releasing. I LIKE seeing threads like this, it helps us develop/improve. I will say that almost everything that has been listed...

    locking cable

    When I did pig work I had about 60 cameras running at any given time. I used the Guardian Hunting cables, but they had some flaws to them that I had to improve on. I did a review of one on my YouTube, I think the designed has changed a little bit from the one I reviews. It all comes down to how...

    No Commercials or sponsorships, Why?

    @redsquirrel and I have talked and he know that if SH needed anything or a sponsor that Aero Hunter would be happy to help him to sponsor the site because of the mutual benefits. Thanks, Boswell

    No Commercials or sponsorships, Why?

    There is no doubt gratitude is mutual between Aero Hunter and Saddle Hunter. With out the Aero Thread on AT there might not be a SH, with out SH Aero might not have sold as many. You talk about the testimonial, knowledge and demand that this site has created. All of this stuff was done before...

    No Commercials or sponsorships, Why?

    Commercials have been done. Who are you going to sponsor? Someone on TV who knows nothing about saddles? Who couldn't talk saddles with someone? I have spent a fair amount of time at trade shows in a saddle trying to pitch saddles to the hunting community. Saddle hunting is still so foreign to...

    Kestrel Users Aero Hunter needs some input

    One thing we know about saddles is they are difficult to "size" Aero. Aero is looking for a better way to determine the size of saddles instead of going by waist size. One thought they had is to look at seam to seam size from pants. So what they would like from you kestrel users is the...

    Kestrel Buckles

    It’s more about the visual perception of the noise they might make than the actual noise they make. Thanks, Boswell

    Need Some Help...

    @ricky racer I know I have some more like this as well as some with my longbow, these are all with the Evo. I will have to look through the Kestrel shoot and see what I have. Thanks, Boswell

    Need Some Help...

    I'll look around I know I have a few. I know I have some from the Evo, I am not sure I have any from the Kestrel. I know I have some harvest photos of deer I have taken from a saddle with a trad bow, but they don't include saddle and deer just deer and trad bow. Thanks, Boswell

    Bullman Outdoors Saddle Platform

    They work fine with a good strap @Mobile one has started selling them with the same ratchet strap that I use as a platform. So if you order his platform you will get a good ratchet strap with them. You have to tighten then down really tight, it is why a good strap is important. Thanks, Boswell

    Making the EONPOW climbers a viable option!

    No doubt! If someone made these 1-2 lbs lighter total weight with a better foot box it would be awesome! I would use the heck out of them. Thanks, Boswell

    Some climbing spike questions answered on video!

    Good question, there is actually a term for that, its called edaphoecotropism when a tree grows around a foreign object. You see this a lot with old fences that have a tree grown around them. Because this a slow process, its not as bad for the tree as a puncture wound. My understanding it...

    Some climbing spike questions answered on video!

    @flinginairos great video! It really shows how quiet and easy they are to use. I don’t use them because of the potential effects to the tree. I just want to point out the potential issue they can have, I can remember learning about it in Dendrology and Forest Ecology in collge, and what...

    Making the EONPOW climbers a viable option!

    Yes, my plan is to use these more this year, just ordered a second set! They make it easy for me to travel with them over climbing sticks. I can throw these with my Kestrel and platform in a backpack and check it on a plane when I fly back to MO. So, I will use them more and more. For 80$ you...

    Bridge Length and Tree Tether Heights

    Bridge effects hip pinch, the shorter the bridge the more pressure you will feel around you hips. Tree strap effects comfort. High tree strap leads to feeling of the saddle “riding up” Thanks, Boswell
