    Back in the Saddle Again!

    I didn't do any hunting in the first several weeks of the season cause it was just too darn hot. Finally the weather cooled down to the point where I was going to go out for the first time. I loaded up my saddle gear in the Jeep and thought I had better take a few practice shots. (Guilty as...

    Merry Christmas!

    Just wanted to wish all of my newfound brothers and sisters a Merry Christmas! Thanks for all the info during my first season as a saddle hunter. Being a newbie, I didn't get the confidence to hunt from my saddle until very late in the season. But, next season, I will be out early and often as...

    Safety Tip

    I'm still a newbie to this. Today was only my third time actually hunting from my saddle. Every time up is still a learning experience. I use WE steps for my climbing method. I love them for their portability and simplicity. And when you get a good cam-over, they are solid as a rock. But...

    Anyone wanna buy a climber?!

    Finally got to hunt from my saddle for first time today. I'm converted! I may never use a climber again! Never thought I'd hear myself say that because I love my climbers. But this saddle thing is soooooooo much better!

    I Just Need To Vent

    Back in September, I had the perfect tree all picked out and prepped for saddle hunting. I was still in practice mode with my steps and saddle gear and not yet hunting out of it. Finally, on our gun season opener, I was going to take my saddle on it's maiden voyage. I parked, put my saddle on...

    Ropeman 1's Tough to Find

    To any Saddle brothers and sisters wanting to get Ropeman 1's: Amazon didn't have them any more (only Ropeman 2). Looked a couple other places, no dice. eBay, I found an older one for a great price but coming from UK, shipping made it as expensive as a new one. REI was out of orange ones but had...

    Spliced Eyes vs Knots

    I have been considering replacing as many knots as possible with spliced eyes. So, are spliced eyes as reliable and safe? I've been watching some YouTube videos on creating spliced eyes and it just doesn't seem possible that they can hold. Does anyone know of some super good instructional info...

    THANK YOU!

    I just want to thank whoever was involved in creating this forum. I only joined a short time ago and already have found it so helpful. Great group of people (hunters, after all. What else would one expect?!). Everyone is willing to help out everyone else. Awesome!

    DIY Improvement For Strap On Steps

    I will be using Ameristeps for my ROS and I have a couple Bullman Silent Approach steps that I may use as first two steps to get higher with my 8 WE Steps. It bothered me that Ameristeps and Silent Approach steps suffer from the same problem. Any sideways pressure makes them slide along the...

And to save on my typing finger, I would like to do a mass thank you to all who have already and any who may welcome me in the future! Whew! It's great to feel like part of the...

    Hello from North Dakota

    Have been browsing here for info for a while and finally registered. Total noobie to this saddle game so I may have questions from time to time but probably zero answers for awhile! Just finally getting my gear gathered up. Just hoping to get comfortable enough to use it this season. But from...
