New from Southern Ohio and Bullman Outdoors

Welcome.

I’m a new saddle hunter also and should be getting my Bullman saddle platform package today.
 
Welcome to the forum, nice steps.
Thank you I appreciate that . They were actually made to climb ! ... They will also catch on better for that in time . I mean , everyone loved pagers 15 years ago !?! Lol ... , I love climbing with them once I figured the fine points out ! I am about to put a package together for the climbing system and a platform. Thanks again !
 
Kestrel saddle. With all the positive feedback on this site and from a conversation I had on the phone with Bobby I choose to buy new. Well worth the wait as I don’t see me going back to a regular stand.
 
How many steps to reach 20+ feet? I like your system. Looks like it’s easier to pack in than my lone wolf climbing sticks.

Thanks . I haven't actually measured , but I often do not use all 12 steps , and I like to be around 20'. ... I would guess , a 6' guy with an average stride would get at least 20' with 12 steps. Maybe higher , I will use a tape next time I climb.
 
With an 18" stride, it would take 13 steps to get to 20'. If you can make a 24" stride, you can get there in 10 steps.

Your most comfortable stride will be the height from your knee cap to the ground. If you're in decent shape and flexible, you can stretch that a good ways. Always remember, an easy stride in the early season with light clothes is much more difficult in late season hunting with heavy clothes.

I am using a stride slightly over 20". That has me right at , maybe slightly over my knee. I am not stretching much , I would rather be comfortable. ... Although , I do need to be in much better shape
Mobile one I'm looking at your online shop here

Great info there Greg. I am around 6' and to my knee comfortable , not stretching any is 20" if not more. So my estimations were pretty close . 12 steps should get a 6 footer 20+ feet.
