    Trophyline 20% OFF END OF THE YEAR FLASH SALE. PROMO CODE: NEWYEAR20 ENDS 12/31/21 11:59 PM.

    Yup, same. I just got into saddle hunting this fall and it was a cheap platform to get into it. I now have a predator and I realized I actually like saddle hunting now haha.

    I can second the Hawk HSP platform. It is terrible for comfort and functionality. But it is small and attaches to a hawk helium. I liked that part.

    Sitka gear.......to buy, or not to buy?

    I have been a KUIU guy for the last 5 years or so. I live in northern MN and sit in a tree stand or saddle for most of my hunting. I do go out west and chase elk around, but that is only 10 days a year if I'm lucky. KUIU is designed for mountain hunting when you are on the move so to sit in a...

    Learning the hard way: Can't hunt without your arrows (you can't make this up)

    This past weekend I did a similar thing. We had thanksgiving stuff going on Thurs-Sat with my family and my wife's family so I could only go out on Sunday afternoon. My family has a ranch about 45 miles from where I live so I headed north. Got my pack on with my saddle and sticks and grab my...

    Hawk Helium HSP Small Platform - I kind of Hate it

    I am hoping someone has experience with this platform and a larger platform that your whole foot can fit on for comparison. I am new to saddle hunting this year and I have sat maybe 15-20 times, longest sit has been about 3.5 hours. I am very happy with all parts of my system except for my...

    Bear Down!

    Awesome bear! I always have a sidearm on me when I am bow hunting. We have so many wolves on camera this year it's nuts. They probably wouldnt do anything, but if 4 or 5 of them surround you, you are in trouble. Either way, guns are fun, you should get one haha.

    Bear Down!

    Thanks and man, you're not kidding! The first three hours I was in the stand my head was on a swivel. I thought for sure a bear was going to run up my tree and get me. Then, I finally settled down. When it came in I was shaking like a leaf haha. The bait was about 18 yards away but it came...

    Bear Down!

    No, I didn't. I just got a saddle and some climbing sticks and I have been practicing in the back yard, but I didn't feel I was comfortable enough to hunt out of it yet. I sat in a hang on for this one, but archery deer opens in a couple weeks and I will definitely be hunting in a saddle by then.

    Bear Down!

    This is my first post here, so I may be putting this in the wrong spot, or maybe it's not allowed. Either way, I wanted to share my recent success. I live in northern MN where you have to draw a bear tag. My hunting group has been getting into bear hunting the last 3 years or so and we have...

    Northern MN New Guy

    Hey everybody, thanks for the add. I am brand new to saddle hunting, actually never even been in one yet. I just got an email this morning stating that my tethrd phantom is arriving today! Can't wait to get up in a tree this afternoon. I am pretty much exclusively a bow hunter when it comes...
