    Bizarre doe attack

    So I took my two Parson Russell terriers for a walk in the woods today, they are a subgroup of Jack Russell's and about 20 to 25#. I let them off the leash as nobody else walks in the state forest and they love to run.and chase chippies. Well,today I thought they spooked a deer and probably...

    Happy with the JRB method

    I climbed today in a new tree using my throwball to get my rope through the crotch. As I hooked up my bridge to the double meeches I saw movement 70 yds away. Some deer,but not coming my way. After a few minutes I decided to climb and be as quiet as possible. I took my time and got set up. 10...

    2022 contest hype?

    So,am I the only one getting excited for the season and the contest? Less than 2 months left here until the opener...I missed the contest last year,which was ok as I didn't shoot a deer from the saddle. That will hopefully not happen again!!

    Got it done today

    Well,got me a doe today. The weapon was my Toyota Tundra,my absolute not weapon of choice. Mid day movement,never saw her coming. I was going 55 and never even hit the brakes. I left the dead doe in the ditch i could not have enjoyed a single bite. Plus i bet the whole left side was smashed.

    Lucky first saddle buck.

    I had an interesting afternoon/evening yesterday. I headed to the woods late and wanted to hunt a pinch point leading to an oak flat. I picked a tree and used my throwball and hit the split first try. The maple was shaggy barked and my line got stuck in the split. I ended up having to cut the...

    Climber vs saddle setup

    I hunted with a friend yesterday and he used a climber. Man did getting ready at the truck make me love saddle hunting even more. He strapped his giant climber on his back and had to carry his backpack on his chest. That is how i got into the woods last year. I couldnt believe the size of the...

    I am new to sticks and DRT climbing and saddlehunting as well. Those two methods are what I want to practice this summer,a friend who is experienced with tree work will help me with the rope part. One sticking will take some practice,as does everything I guess. I think i want to mainly use the...

    One stick vs DRT climbing

    I am a newbie and don't have a saddle yet. I am trying to figure out what climbing method i will pursue first. The main difference between the two is the throw bag i guess,would be a hassle for unprepped a.m. sits. Does DRT limit the type of trees one can climb too? Aside from a tree not having...

    Hi all

    Hey guys and gals,i am happy to join the saddle hunter crowd. I am from upstate NY,close to Cooperstown, and tired of lugging my summit climber into the woods. I put a good backpack frame on it and it still blows to carry it any distance. Plus having to look for a branchless tree is getting old...
