FNG to saddle hunting and the forum currently in Louisiana

[Doczilla]

Hey yall been hunting for years and the military keeps me moving so I figure the saddle is going to be the best way for me to be able to adapt. I haven't purchased anything yet and will take any advice you can give.

Welcome from Louisiana and thank you for your service! You are in the right place for advice. Saddlehunter is full of experienced and opinionated saddle hunters. I went the easy way and purchased the complete Kite package from Aero Hunter. I have been very pleased with the quality and performance of the package. I did add ropeman 1 ascenders to tether and linesman belt.

I completely overlooked the currently in Louisiana portion of the title. Where in Louisiana are you located? I’m outside of Baton Rouge but hunt in Tensas and Madison parish along the Mississippi River.

Welcome from Oklahoma. Thank you for your service! There is tons of information on this site. Lots of helpful people, too. If you are wanting to get something quick, you might check out the classifieds as there is usually lots of good stuff for sale there. You can find steps, harnesses, saddles, etc.

I'm in the same boat as you. Uncle Sam makes me learn new areas every few years. Nothing beats the versatility of a saddle. Have fun!

I am also brand new to saddle hunting and from Louisiana. I have been doing a lot of research of different brand saddles, climbing options, and have pretty much dialed in what I am going to get as my saddle set up. The only thing that I would like to do before buying is to physically try a saddle before buying. Do y'all know any places in LA that has saddles to try?

Check out the SH map. It will show you folks who are in your area that may allow you to try their stuff. Definitely try before you buy. Where are you in LA @T-Mike?

There’s no trees south of Houma anyway, might look into an anti-gravity machine. Lol

I’m in south Baton Rouge area and use a sit drag and also a custom saddle I made. There’s a few people around me that may be able to help as well.
