Welcome all, from Southeestern PA. New to saddle hunting after watching reviews and reading stuff here I chose and Just ordered the Cruzr Archon. Was that or the Lattitude method 2.0. Also ordered some other stuff as our season has started. I'm gonna get one of those Dryad Dreys also. Purchased 2 custom ropes, 2 RollnLocks 2 Kong oval carabiner. 4 Beast sticks, stand is sold out and I'm waiting on that. Trophy line wingman that's being turned into a 1 stick. Still need a ring of steps, roll pouch, dynaglyde, a repelling device and decide how to pack it. I have some questions and will put them in the appropriate threads. Thnx

Welcome from southwestern pa! Practice practice practice before you head to the woods is what someone told me, it was good advice! Good luck and be safe.

Lots of great info on this forum! I’m 5 miles from dahn tahn but I hunt GL51, Forbes and Ohiopyle. Make sure you practice before hitting the timber and take some elevated shots too.

Grew up in the south hills hunting dormont and castle Shannon having a saddle back then would had been very helpful
