Somehow I forgot to share this, since Matt didn’t…
Again thanks to everyone who came out, participated, donated, and helped us have a good time. I know this was a “Florida” event but we had guests from all over the country including Pa, Ky, and NC show up. So here is the longer video from the the meet up. If y’all haven’t already, go check out @MADhunts you tube channel and subscribe. PS @JAYBO, now that you’re a celebrity, can we start booking you for guest speaking appearances and podcasts???? @Weldabeast and I need some pointers…. And like he said, next year I’ll chop wood so you can tell bonfire stories

Does anyone know with the new changes will there be a 2024 saddle hunter meet up?
That's what we talking about.....it will technically be 2024 I guess. Hahaha

What changes are u talking about? I would count on the weekend after Valentine's Day going to some public land somewhere...we been to lake George 2 years now and probably won't change. Unless u know a wma in the center of the state that has lots of hogs and allows camping

Ok guys….. as Weldabeast mentioned, we’ve been in talks about our Saddle Hunter meet up aka Saddle Flaooza…..

I was originally planning on making it a big to do (even bigger than last year) but I’ve had a few life events occur and I’ve taken a step back from the hunting world for a little while to get some priorities in line.. we haven’t fully nailed down a weekend but the last weekend of February has worked best for most of us (pre turkey but post whitetail. What I would like to know is, what people liked and didn’t like about last year’s or in general. Any raffles will be done differently instead of an all inclusive like last year, this year you can bid on individual small groups of items that you like. Obviously we will keep with the very friendly and easy going hang out and demo although this year I will keep the demo’s in a timed schedule for ease of the evening hunt. We were planning on opening it up from either Thursday or Friday until Sunday this year (for guys who made it a true trip especially our out of state friends) there were talks about an elevated 3D tournament on Sunday but I don’t know who all would be interested if we did that? Is there anything in general everyone would like? Or is a more quiet low key meet up preferred this year? Y’all tell me what yall want? 2022 we had about 30 people. 2023 we had over 80 and this year if I choose to market, it could be well over 100 now based on our social media following but I want my OG saddle friends to tell me what yall would like. The good and the bad ect….. its your meet up so let’s try to do it how you like

My suggestion is to have a tree for climbing demos. And another tree for trying saddles, sticks and gear. So you can have multiple things going on at the same time. So my point is if I am not interested in SRT I can be over there trying out gear.
