Hello to all,
Disclaimer, I'm still not a saddle convert yet. Been reading alot about it and watching alot of video. Still not convinced that I'm able to sit in a saddle for hours comfortably. Also a father of 4 (latest and FINAL one just a few weeks old) so time and budget are in short supplies right now. I have a Lone Wolf sit and climb that has been dependable. But this year I will also bring up a climbing harness and a sit-drag to split my time in the tree. So maybe for Christmas I'll ask Mrs. Claus for a Tethrd Phantom or something for next season.
A little about myself. late 30s, grew up in Los Angeles but then the Army took me to a few places. Wife is from Maryland so when I left the military 2 years ago we setup root in central Maryland. Lots of farms and public lands. I was a rifle hunter but randomly tried my father-in-law's bow and I am now in love with bow. Got myself a nice used Mathews Creed. What nice is that bow season is so much longer plus you can practice more without hassle and cost of guns. With my first responsibility to my family, I'll be lucky to find 4-5 days the whole year to hunt. Most public lands in my area only allow bows anyway. Good luck to everyone for the upcoming season.
