    Best badlands pack for saddle hunting

I carry 3 XOP climbing sticks using the zip out, drop down gun “holster” and then strap the upper part of the sticks to the outside of the pack using the compression straps.

    SOLD - Trophyline Ambush Saddle Size Medium

    Made in 2007. Well cared for; straps waxed with warm paraffin wax several times. Hunted in it about 8 times and it works great. I have just decided to hunt from the ground in the future. Really like using the ghillie suit and have experienced good success from the ground the past three...

    Crossbow in saddle

    I never really thought of holding the crossbow for long periods in the saddle. I just hang it on a screw in hook within easy reach.

    Crossbow in saddle

    I spend about 8-10 days a year hunting with a crossbow out of the saddle. It works great....no problems at all. I've never got it hung up on anything or had to maneuver it much to avoid getting it tangled on something. I've even re-cocked once while in the saddle without too much problem. Have...

    Share your Climbing methods

    Re: Share your Climbing methods I've finally settled on a system that works for me in most circumstances. I use a Cranford folding screw in step at knee height, another at roughly shoulder height, followed by a strap with 2 Ameristeps on it at a little bit above head height. That is followed...

    Deer coming from behind you

    I don't think I hunt as much as many of you, but I too cannot ever remember being picked off by a deer in a saddle. I also move around quite a bit, albeit slowly and deliberately, in order to scan 360 for deer and also just to shift my weight, adjust the saddle, and stay warm and comfortable...

    What type of saddle do you hunt from

    I have a 36 inch waist and I use a size Medium Ambush saddle and it fits great. I can't imagine it being bigger.

    Hello from VA

    I'm in Charlottesville. I hunt both east and west of the blue ridge, depending on time of year and private access. I have very little private land available to hunt (perhaps 3-4 hunts per year) so do most of my hunting pretty deep in public land. Less deer, but not many hunters, either, which...

    Hello from VA

    Hi from central Virginia. I really like this site. Lots of good info and I can't believe all of the modifications and new ideas people have. Me, I'm a lot more boring. I use a straight stock trophyline tree saddle, no modifications, and hook up just like the instructions that came with it...
