This is just a message to all of you new guys an gals getting in to saddle hunting. Im sure everyone has noticed the explosion of intrest in saddle hunting. With that Im seeing alot of posts on facebook an saddle hunter from people that have purchased saddles or diffrent climbing systems an dont seem to give them selves enough time to become comfortable an effective with their gear. When I started 12 years ago I was scrolling thru Archerytalk an found @Boudreaux thread. Im 5'10" an was 299 at the time. Not the type of build you would expect from a saddle hunter but I stuck with it. An each year I got better an have not one time been in a conventional treestand since. It takes time weather it is a saddle or new climbing system. Purchased wild edge steps this year an since receiving them it is all i have used an when I say Im slow with them I mean if there were sloths in Indiana trying to go up the same trees I am they would have serious road rage. I will continue to use them an will get better an faster.
