    Anyone ever get setup and just not feel comfortable (safe) at height?

    I've been saddle hunting for 3 years, the last 2 exclusive to the saddle. I've never got up and set and felt unsafe for any reason....that is until saturday night. I set up in a funnel on a self off the side of a saddle hill. in a big old oak. so big that I couldn't reach around it. aside...

    Modifying sticks 3 step to 2, move versa button?

    I've been searching around all the mod'ing hawk heliums, and LWs, etc. All folks seem to be moving the bottom stand off & steps up, but I don't see people moving the versa button up. I'm no engineer but it sure seems like most manufacturers use some sort of ratio for the placement of the...

    broken XOP standoff. does anyone have extra?

    Tonight cam'ing over my platform, I guess the rope was too tight and I snapped the stand off. these look like XOP stick standoffs. on the XOP site it looks like they only sell the 'batwing' 6 point bracket. does anyone have any extra stick standoffs?

    need for the suction cups or bungee to stack sticks?

    I see a lot of people using bungees or straps to stack there sticks together, and now even Hawk has added the suction cup/posts to their sticks and I'm not sure any of that is needed. if you've done the rope mod, just use the ropes. I've been wrapping my old leverage sticks like this, here in...

    this is my third season saddle hunting. first year rattled in one buck to 50 yards, when he didn't see another buck he locked up and wouldn't come closer. my only deer sighting that year. last year was a little better, saw a couple does out of range, and had a big 8 point come cruising...

    "Don't know my own strength" LOL

    Well closed out the MA deer season on Saturday, in frustration and joy. It was a balmy 15 degrees & snowing out which seemed warm compared to the 0 to 5 degrees a few days before. Even still, I layered up an donned my 1000g thinsulate boots and insulated overalls. Went up a tree for the...

    rappelers....ATC a must? or 'Biner with Munters?

    I have a ATC, but prefer to keep it with my R/C harness. (don't want to end up at the gym or crag and not have my belay device). was wondering if rappelling with a locking Carabiner and a Munters was doable. here's what I'm thinking; using my kestrel only (no R/C harness)..using the bridge as...

    Anyone ever tried this?

    Setting up today I had an idea...I know, dangerous. LOL Well, don't have a platform yet, so last weekend I just used my top steps on my leverage sticks to stand on. Today, I screwed in one step about 5 inches to either side of my top step and just slightly above. I set my heel on the...

    my thoughts on the Kestrel so far

    my thoughts on the Kestrel? well, in the 4 hours I've gotten to sit in it so far: the good comfy secure easy on\off nice to be able to wear it from truck to stand and be ready to climb both the linemans loops and bridge loops are fully open and easy to clip/tie into I was comfy enough...

    Does anyone get together regionally to saddle hunt?

    Just wondering if anyone from here ever gets together with other members regionally to hunt, like on some other forums. on Tradgang, there would always be group gatherings to hunt DWG in NJ or the memorial bunny hunt in NY.... It's a chance for like minded folks to get together with...
