Hello All! I saw this site mentioned a few times on the hunting beast so I had to check it out. Glad I did too! You guys are a wealth of information! Since becoming a member I've purchased a set of Jim Stepps, an XOP bracket from ErniePowers (Thanks!), an XOP seat and batwings, ropeman1, stealth strip and a sitdrag. I've owned a TL saddle for 5-6 years but I probably only used it 6-8 times and never fully committed to that set up so I switched to a lone wolf assault instead. I love my assault but with my lw sticks and backpack I still feel the set up is pretty heavy for long hikes on public land so I'm looking forward to giving the modified sit drag a try.

Thanks for sharing all the great ideas! I'm getting drunk on the koolaid!

Welcome aboard Thill, from another Michigander. Where do you reside?
Thanks! I live just south of Grand Haven. The public ground around here gets a good amount of pressure so I travel both N and S to get away from crowds.
 
Welcome to the site! Sounds like you've already opened the checkbook lol!

Thanks! I rationalized the purchases by talking myself into selling the TL saddle, which I rarely use. As long as I'm comfortable with the sitdrag and keep the lone wolf, the saddle will go.
 
Welcome to the site!!! Btw you can rationalize any spending when it comes to saddle hunting!!
