Good evening gents, I am a new hunter from SC in Edgefield. Looks like a great group here and I enjoy the banter!
I have been an arborist for 25 years so when I got my deer tags and hunting license this year I was surprised to find out there is a cult following of people who hunt with climbing gear, so you imagine how psyched I am! I didn't know about scouting so I have been playing catch up with in season scouting. I did see a giant doe which I could have killed, but after all day being in a tree staring at the woods I spaced and she hopped out of a bedding area. My feet were asleep and I had my phone in my had instead of my rifle Anyways, I was casting a shadow from the sun and my slightest movement to get a video of her resulted in giving my position away.
I climb SRT, if y'all ever need any advice on that I am happy to help.
I have learned so much here and I appreciate that, sincerely! Some really excellent quality content not just about saddle hunting, but hunting in general.
No, I don't wear a helmet in the tree but a blaze orange Protos sounds like a winner to me!
I hunt public land and like the adventure sport quality of hunting wild and mobile in contrast with hunting from a stand over corn, although I see the benefits of it and am open to that but have never done it.
