Just curious..who among us owns the most saddles?

[DroptineKrazy]

It's kind of ridiculous but I have been saddle hunting for less than 2 full seasons and I already have a Trophyline Lite, a Cruzer xc and my wife just bought me a JX3 Hybrid for Christmas. So fess up guys. Who among us has in their possession the most commercially made saddles? I want to know which one of us is the most addicted.

 

[MattMan81]

I think @DanO said he had every saddle made in production. I think he claims it's part of his "business"
Does that count? Or are you looking for the guy who just hunts and doesn't make videos..

I'm talking about the not so famous among us

I currently have 10, but it has taken me 15 years of saddle hunting to accrue that many. I have also bought and sold several and made a few DIY, but I’m not counting those.
Here is what I have now from oldest model to newest:

TL Ambush 2006 large no leg straps or suspenders
TL Ambush 2007 medium no suspenders
TL 2007 neoprene large no suspenders
Original unmodified Treesuit
Gen 1 Tactisaddle with DIY utilibridge
Prototype Tactisaddle highly modified-unusable
Medium Recon with shock cord belt diy utilibridge
Small Recon with shock cord belt diy utilibridge
Latitude Method metal free no leg straps
Gen 1 JX3 Hybrid- I would say highly modified, but I know [mention]kyler1945 [/mention]

I have issues

I have 3 & a duplicate backup inbound...... but I refuse to count publicly how many filtered through to come to that decision. Honestly something is going to need to be radically different for me to get another

 

[Letemgrowitllshow]

I have owned 11. Currently have 2. I've got the Cruzr XC so dialed in though that I highly doubt I'll get another saddle unless it's a backup Cruzr XC.

Between the buying and selling of saddles/climbing methods/platforms and other gear, it almost makes me sick to see how much money I've spent at the post office....

 

[DB4x4]

I'm pretty sure there is a "collector" among our ranks, although I can't remember who it is...

 

[CooterBrown]

I have the JX3, ESS and H2 but want to try the Recon

 

[BackSpasm]

Im gonna sip my coffee and wait to see how many sick, sick people come out of the woodwork with saddles in the double digits....

 

[boyne bowhunter]

I currently own 4 commercially available saddles:

Aerohunter Evolution
Aerohunter Kestrel
2 Tethered Mantis (one is a backup that's never been hunted out of)

Funny thing is I haven't hunted out of (or even sat in) any of these this year. Since I've caught the DIY saddle bug I've made five others and I prefer the ones customized to me for comfort over any of the above.

Now I could take this a step further and go down the platform rabbit hole . . . I currently have 5 commercially available and am in the process of buying a 6th.

LWHC
Predator Gen1
Predator Gen 2 (soon to be two of these)
OOAL Ridge Runner
OOAL Solo Scout

Again, I only hunted off of the Gen 2 Predator this year. (correction, I had two sits on the Gen1)

Now can we talk climbing methods . . .

Gear for SRT
10 pack of Wild Edge Stepps (with knaider and swiader)
Climbrite aluminum spurs
Set of Hawk Heliums
LWHC (it counts double duty)
Hawk Helium single stick
DIY Shikar style single stick

I have used both the Helium and DIY single sticks this year.

This is REALLY DEEP rabbit hole . . . . please don't tell my wife . . . .

Love following these types of threads and seeing the hoarders and OCD people chime in on how proud they are of owning far too many (guns, bows, saddles, etc etc). These people will then go through some crazy mental gymnastics to justify why they need 10 bows, 13 guns, 38 tree stands etc etc.

 

[bowhunthard88]

I started this "hobby" in March... I have a Tethrd Phantom, a Cruzr XC, an in-bound Latitude Method, and both versions of the Notch tree saddle on the way as well... Not counting the rest of the gear that I've been buying, trying, selling, and keeping haha.

Hey now! Take it easy. Your talkin about 98 out of a 100 of the guys on here.

You can never have too much hunting gear! By the way, I think for a lot of people that 13 firearms might be on the "light" side! I only have 2 compounds and a recurve currently though...

No mental gymnastics or rationalizations here . . . I just like having stuff.

I know. LOL.

I gone thru my fair share of gear over the years. I’ve never owned more than 1 bow or 2 tree stands at a time. My biggest problem....was trying to go the budget/cheap route....and always ended up wanting to upgrade.

now I just buy exactly what I want(price be damned). Recently pulled the trigger on my first saddle setup. Cruzr XC(ordered it an hour ago),Madrock Safeguard, Canyon rope, Kong duck

Awesome! Sounds just like one of my many set-ups

Had planned on buying the LWCG .5 stand/sticks and a friend talked me into trying saddle hunting. Oddly he doesn’t own a saddle and has never tried one.
