You might be a saddle hunter if...

...you have ever shot a "5 point" doe.

You might be a saddle hunter if...

...you have ever preached to all of your friends and family about how much safer this new method of hunting is compared to others...

...then a day later, you tried a new highly touted climbing method and it scared the Bejeezus out of you...

"Shooter"

 

[DB4x4]

You might be a saddle hunter if...

...you have ever found a big ladder stand a mile or more back on public land and thought to yourself, "What kind of idiot would drag that thing all the way back here?"

...only to realize, you were "that idiot" 5 years prior...

You cut the straps off of something you just bought.
You consider spending another$$$ on something that you already have because it is 1" smaller or 2 oz. lighter.

I just did this. I have a mission, I just saw setx post selling a xl predator. I am still wondering if I need both. Could always catch and release too. I have it bad.

To add to the post... You look at a thin tree and wonder how high you can climb before it starts to bend.

If the term "catch and release" does not involve fish for you.

You keep an open browser with Eastern Woods Outdoors loaded on it.

Guilty.

If its closing in on "prime time" in the tree and you're answering a "You might be a saddle hunter if . . " thread.

 

[Jagger0502]

If you are reading all of these comments and saying to yourself at the end of each one “Good, it’s not just me”

You might be a saddle hunter if...

-you know more about climbing gear than a rock climber (rope, biners, knots etc.)
-you've convinced climber guys to buy saddles.
-you've put the saddle on in front of the ol lady to "explain it" to her and show off your pouch. (pun intended)

You see a deer on the way home from work, and look at the tree line for a good tree to hang in.

I do you one better.
If you look at trees on a walk and try to figure out which method would be best for that tree.

You see a guy stuck in a ditch in the middle of nowhere and you pull over to help him then realize you took your chain out of the back of your truck and didn’t put it back.........then remember you have a hank of 11mm static climbing rope

Pull him out without hesitation. That was yesterday afternoon and another member of this forum was with me. The dude in the ditch had his doubts, but it didn’t phase the other saddle hunter one bit

 

[Weldabeast]

U might be a saddle hunter if every random object u see u wonder if it can be somehow modified into a platform or climbing method

 

[tyson12590]

If you spend five times more hours on this forum than you do scouting or hunting.

 

[woodsdog2]

You wished your hunting buddies didn't call you to help them put up ladder stands for gun season.

 

[BuckTown]

If you climb 3 different trees in one evening hunt before you finally feel you’re in “the one”.

You might be a saddle hunter if...

... You have at least one Rubbermaid tub full random, seemingly useless straps, buckles, and other discarded pieces of gear, but you can't bring yourself to get rid of any of it because as soon as you do, you will need it to DIY something...

I have two tubs of that. The struggle is real!

If you have accounts at multiple rock climbing equipment dealers but, never climbed a rock in your life.
