    Would you shoot the first doe?

    I’ll let her go so long as I have a buck to put in the freezer. If it gets late in the season meat is the priority and the first legal animal I see I’m shooting.

    What hoist?

    So glad I saw this. Was literally about to order a hoist on Amazon but will definitely be trying this first. This whole saddle hunting thing he’s expensive quick so it’s nice to find a good way to save a couple dollars here and there.

    Would you shoot the first doe?

    For me, it comes down to the overall strength of the herd. We had a fairly localized EHD event (like 4 counties) in southern NY last summer. I saw three deer all season. Normally I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot a doe but this year I plan to hold off. At least until late season anyways if that buck...

    When to Retire Ropes

    Just wanted to get some feedback on whether or not I should be retiring ropes (tether, lineman, rappel, etc) based on how old they are regardless of them not showing obvious signs of wear. For example, the tethrd saddle comes with the tag to retire it in five years. Is there a storage method...

    Strap Stager

    I came across this video from Tethrd the other day. Shows how to use a gear tie to hang your platform on the lineman’s belt so you have two free hands to attach the strap.

    Rappel Rope Question

    I’m ordered the 9mm Canyon C-IV with a 5.5mm Beal jammy as a back up. Waiting on the shipment from EWO and then I’ll see how they work together.

    Rappel Rope Question

    Just wanted to thank everyone for their input. Ordered 35’ of the sterling canyon and a figure 8 (in case the safeguard doesn’t ship before the season starts). I’ll post again after the first rappel.

    Rappel Rope Question

    I apologize if this is a dumb question but I’m a newbie here. Just got my saddle and plan to climb up using sticks but rappel down (easier/safer than using sticks in the dark). I narrowed my rope choice to Sterling canyon c-iv or HTP static 9mm. Regardless of rope choice- mad rock safeguard if...

    New Saddle Hunter in Southern NY

    That’s where I hunt as well. Hoping to see some more deer this season- EHD hit the herd really hard up there last summer.

    New Saddle Hunter in Southern NY

    Hello Everyone, I’ve been considering saddle hunting for a few years and finally took the plunge with a Tetherd Phantom this year. I only have public ground to hunt so I’m planning on using 20” hawk helium sticks as a climbing method. I wanted to reach out to see if anyone on here is local to...
