First hunt saddle hunt, and It was a hell of an experience.

I like to carry my bow in at the ready because I’ve shot a lot of my deer on the way in and out. Carrying a xbow cocked and ready, safely, is extremely fatiguing. Especially with a ground blind on your back. A sling wasn’t really the answer for me because you don’t want it cocked without a bolt and it dry fire but I didn’t wanted a cocked and loaded xbow slung and next to my head either.
Yeah my solution is to just carry my crossbow in its soft-case, legal requirement for it to be cased outside of hunting hours here anyway - so even if i'm going in during daylight - when i'm coming out in the dark i have to case it anyway - so might as well just carry it that way - the soft case has backpack straps, so I sling it over one shoulder and rotate it so the limbs are in line with my direction of travel so they dont snag on everything.
