    Saddle Tree Setup Discussion

    One of the things I feel that I see very little discussion about is physical saddle setups in trees for hunting situations. I find I look at trees and setups differently since I've been hunting out a saddle than I did when I was hunting from stands. With that in mind I thought I'd start a...

    Happy 10th Anniversary Saddlehunter.com!

    I’ve just completed my seventh season of whitetail hunting exclusively from a saddle. While sitting in the tree this last month I started reflecting on my saddle hunting journey and how much this site and its members have meant to me over that time. While considering this it occurred to me that...

    Love Cold Weather Hunting

    Am I the only guy REALLY likes late season hunting? I can't really explain why numb fingers and toes are something I look forward to every year but I really do like the late season hunts here in northern Michigan. My buddies all think I'm a looney but It's my favorite time of year to be out in...

    Contest Submission Rules Reminder

    Ok contestants, I'm not trying to be a nag but this is by far the most overlooked rule during the course of the contest every year. There are easily 10 entries every year that miss this simple detail. In fact, it actually altered the final winner last season. The team I was on finished in...

    WTS Gen2 Predator Platform, $140 TYD - SOLD

    I have a Gen2 Predator platform I bought on here in Dec. 2020 to serve as a backup. Its in excellent condition and I've never had it on a tree.

    Another reason to carry your setup in and out each time.

    I just don't know what some people are thinking. Is a hunting spot really worth the possibility of killing or disabling another hunter? This is just another reason to be a mobile hunter. Run into issues and I just move down the road a bit...

    Glowing Spider Eyes?

    A first for this northern boy. Walked back in the dry woods and it looked like beads of water were everywhere. Reality is its dry as bone tonight. Further inspection revealed they're actually spider eyes glowing in the headlamp. Never noticed that before.

    Reaction time

    A lot of great examples of reaction time in this but the one at about the 6:00 mark is completely amazing. Next time a deer ducks your arrow keep this in mind. If we (humans) are capable of this then a deer can certainly get out of the way of an arrow in the 1/3 of a second it takes to get...
