Quick edit to my first post, got rushed.
I am from Northeast Oklahoma (Tulsa County). I mainly bow-hunt for deer and tree stands have always been a problem for me. I am a disabled veteran and having to sit on my butt in a tree stand really wears on my back ( which is where I am partly disabled ). Since owning a saddle, I have had no problems with my back; even on long day sits. Just a tidbit for those out there wondering about comfort of saddles. With the right adjustments, I can fall asleep in it.
I purchased my first saddle last deer season ( October 2016 ) and have loved the style and plan to stick with it. I currently use the complete NewTribe AeroHunter Evolution. My climbing methods are using screw in pegs and climbing sticks. However, I am exploring other options such as the Stepp Ladder system ( money permitting ). I mainly hunt public ODWC and COE land ( preferring the archery only areas) so my tactics must stay light and saddles are perfect for this type of hunting.
I still have a lot to learn as far as the trick and trades of the saddle hunting style. I joined this site because I have found a lot of helpful information on it and am hoping to help contribute my experiences/opinions/ and ideas as well.This will be my second season to hunt from my saddle.
