We would all love to break out our favorite sarcasm and rip this guy a new one. I am going to refrain. A few years ago, I saw a SaddleHunter sticker on the back of someones truck. I did a little web search and thought "that looks stupid, not for me". 2 years ago and $500 later as I stood dripping sweat with my LoneWolf deep into public ground, I thought there's got to be a better way. I began to investigate and slowly, video after video, saddles kept coming back( thanks Greg @g2outdoors ). I wanted to try one desperately but DANG, thats a lot of $ for something your not sure of. Imagine my joy when I found out that my mother had ordered a Mantis for me as the result of my brother telling her how obsessed I was with it. A late but awesome Christmas present indeed. Now of course I love it. I say that even though he ridiculed all of us, that we be patient with him. He may be one of our favorite members in a few years. The Apostle Paul persecuted Christians to the point of imprisonment and death. After he saw the light, (literally) he became possibly the greatest advocate of all time. I would love to see the look on this guys face when he converts.

I really enjoy your content @catman529 I wouldn’t even give that stuff the time of day. You’re energy is better spent answering legit questions or creating content. It’s like giving in to reading comments on posts on Instagram or YouTube, not much worth your time!! I definitely wouldn’t take the bait just keep being Catman!!!!

The "squeaky" part cracks me up. I hunt lock and ladders and will be throwing the saddle in this year. I'm gonna use whatever the situation calls for. I can tell you thing, EVERY lock on and ladder stand squeaks to some degree, every one I hunt out of. I havent had a squeak from my saddle set up yet, maybe I'm doing it wrong.

Quiet Professionalism is always a good guide. Tearing an ignorant comment up just feeds the fools. You can tell they have nothing better to do. They actually posted a second time looking for more. Just know you are doing something right since they are obviously dedicating time to follow and you have no idea who they are. Tip of the hat to ya. You lived your life fine with out that person's approval before...I'm sure you'll manage just fine going forward.

I enjoy your posts and your videos also! There will always be Trolls. But I’m going to spend the weekend trying to polish my SitDrag into a luster, and I’ve got a couple nice brass pulleys im going to add on my bridge!

Video was great, gotta ignore some people.

Seems someone is always trying to bring someone else down.

Well wrote brother. I remember my saddle scoffing days. Never militant like this YouTube comment guy but definitely very skeptical.

Wow somebody hasnt refilled his psychiatric prescription. @catman529 I enjoy your videos and appreciate that you are not trying to sell me something. (Not even pulleys)
Keep doing what you are doing.

However, if there are any pulley manufacturers who need pro staff for canned hunts, I'm available.
