Good morning Saddle Hunters,

My names Jared, I'm from Northern Wisconsin around the Oneida Area. I've been hunting Public land for around 10 years here. I have been using a clunky climber or blind for my hunts due to the restraints on public, NO MORE! I hopped on the internet this week and researched saddles, stick and platforms. I ended up purchasing all three from Trophyline. MY gear is supposed to arrive this week and I am excited to get out and practice / learn it. I'm also looking forward to using this resource for tips and advice because I have so many questions???? Aiders, one sticking, SRT, 2TC, repelling down !! I never would have thought there would be so many ways to climb, hunt and descend a tree lol.

Welcome! There was a WI meetup in Sussex this last August, I'm not sure if they'll plan on having one again this year. I only have one season under my belt on WI public, but ff I were starting all over again I'd go one stick from the get go. I started with 4 Novix sticks and a Trophyline Mission. Then went to a Shikar mini one stick and an EDP. I just picked up an Eastern Woods Outdoors Ultimate one stick and see it replacing everything, except maybe the EDP for all day sits.

Welcome from SE Wisconsin! I was in your exact same place this time last year. Learned a lot and spent quite a bit of coin, haha.

Had a really enjoyable season…I hope your upcoming season is great, too!
