My 9 year old wanted to saddle hunt today. Put him up above an existing ladder stand to use as an easy platform and intro to saddle hunting. Just had him in a RC harness.
My plan was to get in a tree 30 yards away still in whisper distance. I was standing on my last stick facing away from him when he shot his first buck!!
He will probably be a saddle hunter for life after his 20 minute “first sit”.
The last 2 seasons I have put him in a stand and I have been in a saddle above him. He has taken a couple does before but I don’t think he will forget his first buck and saddle hunt.
