How did you find the site?

I was on archery talk doing some reading on guideos web and saw someone talked about it. Been using the web now for two years and love it. As with everyone else always adjusting with new ideas.

Awesome! Welcome!
 
I was researching new saddle products and found my way to newtribe.com. From there I saw the link to this forum. I'm glad that I did.

Man, I hate to get all soft and fuzzy, but the members on this site are fantastic and all seem to want to help fellow hunters with similar hunting styles, fulfill their desires.

Something many hunters don't realize is how much being a more successful hunter, changes their lives. I've had many e-mails and phone calls from hunters that had become more successful and they told me that other than the way they altered their hunting methods, their somewhat new found consistent success changed the way: the local hunting community interacted with them (with more respect), dealt with their confidence, they interacted with their wife and family during season, they handled the pressures of stress during season, and how they were more at peace within themselves during the entire year after taking a nice buck or two.

Being successful can and typically does, change a persons quality of life.

Years ago I used to start arguments with my wife just so that she would get mad, giving me a really stupid, psychological reason to leave and go hunting. I felt less guilty leaving once she was mad and that's really sick! Like everyone else, I have bad seasons and have learned to deal with them in a much different manner than in the distant past.

On my sons and my website (deer-john.net) their is a testimonial page full of hunters that have become more successful and that's what it's all about.

Back to topic. I think Mr. Bobby Boswell mentioned this site while we were discussing alterations to the original Aero Hunter with New Tribe.

John- You can get soft and fuzzy around here because you are amongst friends :D

I am personally so glad to have you as a part of this site after everything you have done for the rest of us regarding not only saddle/sling hunting but your hunting tactics in general. I am proud of the site, I am thrilled that you like it, and I am blown away by the awesome people that have come here and the amazing ideas that have been shared already.

We are coming up on the 1 year anniversary of the site and I can't even put into words how greatly my expectations for this first year have been exceeded. I love hunting out of a saddle and I knew there were others like me. I figured that we needed a place to come together. At this moment we have 205 members on the forum! I almost can't believe it! I know there are many more saddle hunters out there and I look forward to more great things to come!
 
Pretty sure it was a google search how I stumbled on this site. I was frantically reading every bit of information about saddle hunting I could find on the internet since discovering this method in John's books.

Quality not quantity! :D

John, I can't tell you how much hunting in general has changed my life. 3 years ago, I would have never dreamed that I would be as obsessed with hunting as I am now. 3 years ago my daughter was just being born and I was still spending the majority of my life in front of a TV, playing video games.

But a single shot on opening day of rifle season changed everything.

Now I dream about spending time in the woods, practicing shooting my bow, scouting, and more importantly, sharing all of this -and future experiences- with my two amazing children. Hunting really is a way of life. I can't imagine going back to the previous life for anything.

Amen brother, hunting is a healthy way of life and deserves to be in our thoughts throughout the year. I must add however that I know a few that have become overly obsessed with it the entire year to the point that they let it run their lives. In my opinion, and I love hunting whitetails as much as anyone, having a rounded life outside the hunting season is healthy as well. I'm an avid fisherman that fishes nearly every day in the spring and summer, golfs, plays tennis, works out every night during the off hunting season, on the city council, lake committee, run the annual fish plant donation drive at our lake, and even reluctantly do some things with my wife that I would rather not do (kids are grown and gone).

You have created a phenomenal site. You must be really smart!

Haha I'm obsessed but I don't let it interfere with the rest of my personal and professional duties( well that's not totally true lol.) One of my favorite things about Michigan is that your fishing season can go year round if you want it to. I love ice fishing right after hunting season ends! And when the ice thaws it's time to break out the boat :)

Found the site doing research for my saddle set-up. Will hang around because the conversations seem to be in the mind set of the die hard, no nonsense, do the work needed kind of hunters. Oh, and because I've noticed you are fortunate to have likely the best bow hunter on the planet frequenting the forum. So I guess John Eberhart gets half credit for holding my interest. What bow hunter would ever turn down current, live, interaction with a big buck killer like JE!
