    Deer Contest Regrets

    I got my first saddle at the end of the 2019 hunting season so obviously I didn't get in on the contest. I joined the contest the next year (2020), broke my ankle in October. No deer that year for me. The 2021 season I hoped to contribute, nope. It was a rough season with a lot of missed...

    Single stick cam cleat or cam buckle

    I built my own one stick and decided to take one of the DIY Amsteel daisy chains from my helium's and I just use the daisy chain to one stick with. I do not get the stick real tight to the tree when climbing(as mentioned above). Once I'm at hunting height with my stick and one of the openings in...

    Wearing a belt

    What type are you using? Clip on? Would the metal clips dig in?

    Wearing a belt

    Ok I'd like to get some opinions from y'all. I'm hanging in the saddle this morning and I can feel my belt on my pants digging into me.

    Figure of 8 progress capture???

    This is exactly the way I get back up if I need to come down in a hurry. This way I can leave my single stick up the tree with all my gear, this way I can easily get back up. This was the video I found and learned this technique to ascend.

    What does your 2021 system look like?

    So far I ain't looking back, I use it with the figure 8 and can't be happier. No need for all the fancy mechanical devices. I can use the figure 8 to get down and I can add the schwabisch hitch, carabiner with a loop to go back up. No problems gripping and my autoblock bites nice to make the...

    What does your 2021 system look like?

    Well like I said things are going to change through out the season. I now have 2 systems that I alternate between (thus far)! Trophyline Ambush Pro is my go to saddle but I have my hands on a Covert lite that I'm testing this season. My first set up is the cut down Hawk Helium's single Amsteel...
