At what age do you start your kids out saddle hunting?
Same for mine, he will with me in the same tree also. I set steps and platforms then drop a safety line for him to attach to until he hooks into the tether I will set for him. He has been hunting out of a hang on with me for the last couple years, so he is fimiliar with watching me hunt out of the saddle. This is a hell of a lot better than carry that damn hang on out with us!! LolMine is 12 and isn’t a good climber. He will saddle hunt this year but we will be in the same tree. I will set sticks or steps and tie the lifeline at the bottom then he can just climb up and only have to manage a prussik. That’s the plan anyway. Mine still has about two years sitting with me and maybe two more within sight. Climbers are foolproof for the most part but the closest I ever came to skydiving was a seat ripping on a climber. Safety harnesses cure that but you have to attach it to do any good.
