Waiting comfortably on a buck to come in. I’m in south eastern Oklahoma. About 150 miles due north of Dallas

Days off during the week are great but if I hunt my two days off it is four days without seeing my family. Double edged sword

Today (right now) I'm doing my first sit in my GW, too. I got into position early this morning since I expected to be a little slow getting set up. Not too bad though. Man, this thing is comfortable...almost too comfortable! I'm anticipating some good naps in the tree. :D
 
Let the back rest and lumbar adjustments completely out and let the back rest lay flat.........scoot your crotch toward the tree and lie back..........sleep for hours.

Oh yeah, let the tether out and sling your legs over your steps and stretch out.
 
Autumnrider, seems like you have this GW thing figured out. ;) I had to be out of the woods by 1pm today. Otherwise, I'm certain that I would have had a great nap!

The only real issue I had today was climbing with that whale tail getting in the way. However, once in position, the whale tale really works great.

Keep the leg straps loose.

Thanks, I thought that I had them pretty loose already but will double check next climb. The other thing I'll be trying is to totally loosen the back support straps(?).
 
It's a great saddle for all day hunting. I have had mine for five years and it's great during the rut when you want to stay in the tree all day. I bought the new bridge when it came out it lets you lean to the right or left easier than the old one. Butch sure knows how to build a great saddle too bad he's going out of business in December. Enjoy your retirement Butch.

I moved my whale tail back one hole to shorten it. Now it does not stick in my boots. Leave your leg straps off til u get settled. That will help with the W tail issue.
