    Old bows

    I saved up and bought a “used” High Country Extreme when I was 12, that was in 1996. I hunted with that bow up until 2020 when I switched to Traditional. I killed a lot of deer with that thing. Still have it tucked away for a donation to a museum or new hunter if you know one. That is the bow in...

    Montana Elk hunt for 2025

    I appreciate the concern, we have a 5% chance and am likely taking my long bow…. So I am basically taking my bow for an expensive hiking vacation. We are going to truck camp and bounce around until we find sign and then if we need to, pack in on foot. I have done all the google searchers and...

    Montana Elk hunt for 2025

    Feel free to reach out, I hold no secrets… I have also never put one in the freezer. I have learned from the mistakes of others that have taken my advice, and that advice is free to anyone that wants to report back.

    Montana Elk hunt for 2025

    Drew a tag for Montana Elk, planning to hunt out there with a buddy. I hunted central MT in the past, got into elk but also found a lot of hunters (I know it’s hard to avoid). We are tossing up the idea to try a new area and I wanted to pick anyone’s brain about some areas in south west MT. Not...

    Large vs Small Platforms?

    I have tried an array of platforms both small and big, along with ROS and I can tell you, they all worked and have their place. I have a few setups I have been impressed with. I mostly lean but like to stand straight up and have options for both standing, sitting and leaning. Mission - amazing...

    Little Debbie's

    I don’t know what gets more attention on this site…. New Saddle Gear announcements or New Little Debbie snacks announcements. I am going to rename my shortcut to the forum “Little Debbie” rather than “SaddleHunter”

    Jokes and Memes - NO POLITICS

    How the times have changed… we had lots of other experiments mixing Dr Pepper in college, never dairy products, 100% of the time it had a proof to it, and it never tasted great.

    Late Season Tactics?

    This has been a fun read… I can tell you with absolute certainty, you have a 100% chance of not shooting anything if you stay home. My experience with late season, which is one of my favorites here in PA, is that I see almost no one in the woods, and most years, I see more bucks thru late...

    Dryad Drey

    I had both the full size and the mini and ended up keeping the mini and sold the full size. They are both comfortable but the full size had a fiddle factor I didn’t like but that’s me. I now use the mini as an add on to my regular saddle for all day sits as I found a regular saddle to be more...

    Missed high, why?

    Very likely your bottom limb hung up in n something and it wouldn’t have taken much. If your lower limb did skim the dirt, the top limb would have loaded the arrow into the shelf which would push the back of the arrow down causing the tip to launch up and arrow to follow. At 10 yards it would...

    Total cost to start saddle hunting, for real

    I fear that my wife will read this, so I will round down to the whole number… DIY - real cheap - prob end up with what you want or simple to change Buy a package or buy your buddies last package and never change your setup, prob looking at 500-1000 Doing what I did and chase the latest...

    Pressure Question small public parcel

    Have you bumped any deer? Are you seeing deer when you hunt? Or are you hunting and seeing nothing? If you are hunting the wind, meaning your scent isn’t spooking the deer or going into the bedding areas and spooking them without you knowing and staying out of sight in and out…. Keep hitting...

    Hunting pressured public during Gun Season

    When you look at a map, look at all the easy access, parking areas and areas that you can see a long ways that rifle hunters love, all the deer in these areas will get pushed out when the orange army moves in. Then find the thick areas and exits they will run to too get out of there. It’s not...
