    First deer out of my saddle....

    Finally, after my first season in a saddle and a couple of adjustments on tree selection, it came together. I ran into this buck Saturday morning but he was out of range and had a girlfriend with him. He was a very vocal deer and seemed on the ornery side so I got aggressive trying to get him...

    My one sticking and saddle hunting update after almost a full season.

    This might be redundant, or maybe no one cares.. haha. I thought I would give an update on a newbs perspective on one sticking out of a saddle, what I learned, and where I think i'm headed. I'm writing this in hopes that it spurs good suggestions/convo, and hopefully it helps someone else with...

    Saddle pain issue

    I know much of this has been covered in various topics here but I can't find anything that matches my issue. I have a Cruzr XC saddle, which I think everyone bills as a very comfortable saddle. Overall, I echo that and love hunting out of it. It wasn't until season started and I was putting...

    First hunt out of the saddle

    I'm not usually one to get all giddy or wound up quickly over something but this I wanted to share. I had some time yesterday afternoon to finally get my first sit of the year in out of the saddle. I have a heavily bedded area across the road from the house that I snuck into around 3PM. My...

    Delta Link / Scaffold orientation question

    I have a perhaps a dumb question, but it sure nags the heck of out me. I use a delta link with a scaffold knot. I've repelled probably a dozen times, practicing for the upcoming season on this rig. That scaffold is stupid tight now and rock hard. No worries there. One thing I've noticed...

    Delta Link Question

    I was using a run of the mill stainless oval link from the hardware store for a while, but it was bigger than needed, I think it was a 10mm size. I decided to go to a delta link as that seems to be what everyone recommends. I ordered a climbing rated one by CAMP off Amazon and got it today...

    One Sticking, my journey and issues

    Sorry if this is the wrong channel to put this in. I thought I'd share some things that I've been working on and what I'm having issues with in hopes that either someone has suggestions or to spur conversation. My one stick setup is a Cruzr XC saddle with a EWO 15" Ultimate One stick. The...

    One Sticking Quick Link Size

    I'm one sticking at the moment. Aside from the learning curve and working out my own process, its gone really well. One thing I don't recall ever seeing mentioned is the size of the quick link or delta link folks are using. I'm currently using a delta link that came with a safety harness...

    Saddle confidence and bridge help

    Hi all. I am about to embark on saddle hunting because its really going to make my life easier in the mountains of PA. I went the one stick route, with a OOAL Big Bob and Cruzr saddle. I've been practicing quite a bit lately and I am amazed how safe I feel in this thing. Repelling is also a...
