    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    For anyone interested-I talked with the CPO for my area yesterday. He informed that it was permissible for me to get a deer out of the field in multiple trips if needed. He gave me a few more details and instructions on how to handle the situation if it should arise and I’m good to go. Yay...

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    This idea is close to what my husband and I had discussed. We had talked about utilizing the saddle backwards but my head was thinking about using webbing to secure the deer to myself. I had never even thought about using the tether itself to drag the deer, I’m an idiot. And yes, I will be...

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    Yes, I’m clear on the rules regarding the checking in of the animal and not transporting until that’s done (that has always been a ref here and it’s never been too big of a deal to get cell reception). My issue/question is regarding the transporting of the animal from the field. Some others on...

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    That’s a good point, maybe that’s what they meant. I was assuming they meant transportation from the field. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    I’m talking about dragging 1/4-1 mile. With most areas not having trails/roads close. So I thought dragging the deer out whole would be less of a headache than screwing around with a cart. Wanted to use what I have on me to get the job done, and prevent any unnecessary trips back to the truck...

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    This is a definite upgrade compared to grabbing a hold of the animal itself. I just thought if I could hook it up to the saddle and get the weight of the animal around my midsection and have my hands free to get my momentum up and be able to drag it in the most upright manner I can.

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    I agree a call might help clear things up so I will work on that. Here is a pic out of our regs. How do you interpret it???? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    Yes it is most of the time. But there are many times we hunt separately or I’m by myself out there. I just don’t like the idea of “limiting” myself to only hunting close to the truck. I’m really looking forward to hunting deep on the public and I feel like my state’s stupid rule hinders me. I...

    Saddle as Deer Drag?

    I was wondering if any of you guys have ever used your saddle as a deer drag. Ideally I would quarter the deer up and haul it out in a couple of trips. But if I’m reading my state game laws correctly, I have to transport all quarters together which means it would have to be done in one trip. I...

    Hanging and positioning gear in the tree

    Amazon-search for heroclip. Size medium will be adequate for bow holder, rated for 60lbs, $20. I think tethrd is now selling them as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Noobie Question

    I was in the same boat. I was basically told to use your own judgement on whether or not it’s safe. Mine were in great condition, had never been used and protected from the elements. So I decided to make them work. I cut down mine to the length I needed and made a lineman’s belt out of it and...

    Glad to see another woman on here with the same vice as me! I’m always looking for new tips and tactics. I always say, it could be a lot worse...right? [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Do I have what it takes???? (rope questions)

    Thanks guys. Yes the carabiners I currently have are the old heavy ones. I will be taking those out of circulation and buying all new for the saddle hunting. Thanks for the tip on the styles. I looked up the key hole style kind, and I totally know what you mean about the hook style. My bow rope...

    Do I have what it takes???? (rope questions)

    So I took the plunge and ordered a saddle the other day. I opted not to buy the lineman’s belt and the tether because I think I have the proper material to make them on my own and I wanted to save some money. That being said can you guys help me figure out if I can make it work with what I’ve...

    Am I too late to saddle up?

    This is good to know, thanks. I’m hoping to get it done this week. I’m planning on buying most everything through them minus the tether and the lineman’s belt. I’m fairly certain I have what it takes to create these on my own and save myself about $100. Do you happen to know if most saddle folks...

    Am I too late to saddle up?

    Thanks everybody for the warm welcome, encouraging words and tips and tricks. I will look into these other saddles and techniques for practicing. On the saddle made by heath hartt-how does it work if there are no leg straps? It just cups your butt only? Is this a safety concern? I hunt a...

    Am I too late to saddle up?

    Opens October 1st. I’ve been progressively getting fed up with my climbers over the years so I started bow hunting off the ground last year until the leaves fell then I headed back up into the trees. I was kind of thinking I could go ahead and still take the plunge and if it didn’t feel...

    Am I too late to saddle up?

    Hey everyone, I’m new your group. I’m very interested in joining the saddle hunting community (my husband thinks I’m crazy). Was looking into buying a set up with tethrd. First question-if I were to pull the trigger and make this purchase immediately (knowing the wait times), is the learning...
