Hello all,
I hunt in northeast Ky and southern Ohio and have been using a climbing tree stand or hang ons for years. However the steep terrain and thick cover can make these stands hard to get into the right locations. I also hunt public land which is another issue with hang on stands. I am intrigued by the saddle hunting method but have never seen one in person or tried one on. Looking for suggestions for a first timer? Opinions on the kestrel from new tribe kit?

Thanks
 
Welcome. The Kestrel is a great way to go, new or experienced.

Welcome! I'm in north east Ky Greenup to be exact I have a sit drag and guidos web if you want to check out some saddles before you commit to buying one just send me a pm..... I'm confident it is the best hunting system for our part of the country for anyone trying to be mobile!

Check the Saddle Hunter map on the site to see who may be close to you. The kestrel is a fantastic product welcome!

Welcome, can't go wrong with the Kestrel...! You won't be disappointed, I also hunt southern Ohio and whichever harness you end up choosing will be the cats meow while humping those hills.
 
The kestrel kit is a great way to get started saddle hunting. It’s a good mix of weight and comfort.

Welcome to the best site on the web! I agree with kelly.jayp, find someone near you and try a saddle on. You'll have more info to make a wise decision on your style of hunting. I'm sure your saddle hunter buddy will also have a lot of useful information as well.
 
Welcome to the site, there should be a few guys not too far if you wanted to check out before you buy one. This was my first partial season saddle hunting out of the Kestrel, I love it & hunted some pretty rough stuff with it. For someone new coming in it took a lot of the guess work out of it for me. But there’s more than one way to skin a cat!
