    Would you setup?

    So, I’ve been hunting this area and yesterday I got on some deer (one in pic). My problem is this is all briar and thick cover with a field opening. The closest, and only, tree is the one in the pic. Kinda risky, but would you guys sit this tree?

    Castration Bands - what do you use them for?

    Cold Weather Saddle Hunting

    I understand this topic has probably been discussed in length before but I was wondering about saddle hunting in cold weather, mid November when their could be snow on the ground and temps freezing or below.

    Need Help with getting into Saddle Hunting

    I am looking to get into tree saddle hunting. I am from Canada and having a hard time finding local information. I had some questions I was hoping someone could help me with: 1) Has anyone used a "Rock-climbing" harness as a cheaper option instead of a saddle? (Either on its own or with some...

    Kydex platform holder

    I was wanting to be able to get my platform off my pack frame with out taking it off once I’m up in the tree and since they don’t make a XL platform pack I had to improvise. It holds the platform pretty tight so it doesn’t rattle while walking.

    Best Saddle Hunters Ever?

    I know this is a very objective question, but who do you all think are some of the "best" saddle hunters? Or, maybe better put, who are the best hunters that use a saddle? Use your own criteria to define your answer (ex. biggest deer, more prolific, most consistent, etc) Here are a few that...

    "Test at ground level"

    I have seen this phrase multiple times when someone is trying to reinvent the wheel, or just make the wheel better. To be honest, I don't think we use it in a way that accurately and efficiently tests the important aspects of our equipment. It is definitely a good concept, but, do we actually...
