    9 year old - 1st buck / 1st saddle deer

    Thanks everyone. He got his first doe at age 7. I sat with him for days and I finally told a friend that he had to sit with him because I wanted to hunt at least once during the year. He shot his first doe during that hunt without me, he must have been determined to keep me from...

    9 year old - 1st buck / 1st saddle deer

    My 9 year old wanted to saddle hunt today. Put him up above an existing ladder stand to use as an easy platform and intro to saddle hunting. Just had him in a RC harness. My plan was to get in a tree 30 yards away still in whisper distance. I was standing on my last stick facing away...

    my thoughts on the Kestrel so far

    I agree with hicktstic. I had my first weekend in the Kestrel also. Being new to saddles and it has been decades since I have done any serious rock climbing I decided to go to an existing hang on stand and try the saddle above that so I could get used to it. It took a little bit of time...

    Do I need stopper knots after figure 8 knots?

    You do not “need” stopper knots the figure 8 will not back out however back in my climbing days we always tied one overhand or half hitch from the tag to the working end of the rope as a “safety” We never tied stopper knots on the tag end of the rope. If you are not going to untie them then...

    DIY Saddle

    What did you make the main part of the saddle with? Looks almost like large wide backpack waist-belts sewn together.

    What email address did your confirmation come from? I never got a confirmation, I have looked in spam folders.

    There has to be some comparable buckles they can substitute to get the hardware supply up. Then hire some temps to fill the current backlog. After that they can streamline things.

    Kestrel shipping

    Apparently it is the buckles that are back ordered. I ordered last week and never got a confirmation email, so I reached out to them today. My approximate ship date is the first 2 weeks of November.
