New member from Michigan

Hey all, Chad here from Brighton, Michigan. I primarily hunt private land in Clare Co, but would like to do some more public land hunting as well. I’ve had two spine surgeries since 2010 from injuries sustained in the Army, and I’ve seen my ability to sit in a traditional treestand (especially in colder temps) drop to about 4-5 hours at a time. I’m really hoping that a saddle (have not purchased yet) will allow me to stay in the woods longer. I first heard of/saw a saddle this past year at a hunting show, John and Bobby were there and I spent a good amount of time talking with them about it. Guys, if you see this, it was at the Novi, MI show, and I appreciated the time.

Sorry for the long intro, and this will probably get quite a few different answers, but if anyone has suggestions as to which direction to go to help with my situation, I’d appreciate it!

Thanks again,

Chad
Welcome to the site.

First thank you for your service. I live in Jackson now but lived in the Brighton area for 40 Years. I hunted the Gregory state game area when I lived in Brighton. I still get over that way sometimes I built my oldest sons house in Whitmore Lake.
