This is maybe a good time to review rule #3 from the link in my sig:
3. Be respectful of all other members
Please let cooler heads prevail. We're getting into the greatest time of year. No forum drama please.
Yep.
Saddlehunter forum has some of the most helpful, civil, sharing members that a forum could hope to have. This place is great.
Saddle hunting is also a niche style of hunting. It certainly isn't mainstream and it isnt big-box, Chinese, cater to the masses, type of gear manufacturing and marketing.
Geeze, it wasnt very many years ago that a lot of this gear was only DIY. As interest grew, some didicated SADDLE HUNTERS (as opposed to gear marketers) saw a growing need to provide some commercially available, quality products.
I feel extremely blessed that those guys have taken the lead.
Ive been hunting deer for 48 seasons and frankly, before I learned about the new generation saddle gear, hunting was starting to become the same old, same old ho hum.
Saddles have lit a new fire and enthusiasm under me for hunting.
I would advise anyone who is displeased with the current state of gear availability, that they can always go to Cabelas, Gander Mt, etc and settle for the same old crap that became boring to me.
For those that want to dedicate themselves to saddles...have some patience. The wait for gear to ship will be worth it and the market for used stuff is still very strong. I bought and sold my Flex for the exact amount I paid. I didn't lose a dime.
Now, its time to go glass the fields. There are some real slammers this year. I can't wait for the prime time hang.
