I see what you did there. Preseason is definitely where it's at!

Let's see your setup!

I make sure that I never neglect this part of the pre-season prep! You are absolutely right!

I don't know when that is, but it always seems like we could do nothing socially all year and then there is something planned every weekend from september through january :evil: . And I am given a hard time for wanting to sit in a tree instead! :lol: :lol:

Yeah, I have reached the "too many boxes" point with all the saddle, climbing, steps, etc recently. Last week I felt I better pre-empt the week's flow by telling her I had four packages coming but the total was less than $60. We had the too many packages talk each of the prior two weeks. :?

I figured out how to fix that. I had mine move out and now I live alone. I have had the neighbors ask me "why does UPS deliver to your house every day? What in the hell are you buying? " . I just say work stuff. It's easier with neighbors than with the better half

AMEN!!! I tell her the whole summer belongs to the family. Use it or I will buy a bass boat. But the kids play with their friends all summer. Then when it is "cold" (50's count when you have girls) then they want you around because they are bored. :roll:

I think you guys have the general "pre-season preparation" all wrong...
I like to lose a bunch of money playing poker, eat a ton of beans, start picking at her cooking...
I figure it is better to make her "enjoy" the time I'm away. :lol:

The photos that are upside down and sideways if you click on them they will be right side up.
i use three lone wolf sticks and two muddy sticks up top also on my bottom lone wolf i have a rope step for added height. hoping to go to one of two sticks only by next year. also i took my muddy bloodsport seat and have it tucked inside my trophyline treesadle seat to try and make it look and feel like the guido web. I also use a ropeman 2 on my linemans belt and am going to start to use it as well for my tether as well.

The longer I saddle hunt the more I realize I don't want anything on my saddle. I keep everything in Faisal that is hung on right side of tree. I may have one pouch on my saddle for tree rope.... Did this year but thinking about taking it back off.

Me too. I like to be free and not contested! Hand my pack on the right of tree with gear I may need in a hurry hanging off. Which is only a grunt call and water bottle. I don't pack binos or range finder. Woods is too thick for binos and if they are in long bow range, I don't need to range them.DaveT1963 said:

I find its easier to leave my former Iraqi kings at home when I hunt. The separation is tough at first but I've really been trying to cut down on the unnecessary gear. This is obviously for a day hunt... If it were a backpacking trip it would be a whole different story!

x3, for the most part. I prefer to keep my tree rope and linemans belt in a pouch on my saddle at all times to that I can never forget it. They live in a small pouch on my left hip and when I'm set up and hunting with only the linemans belt in there, it doesn't make a difference to me at all. At this time of year I will add a small pouch on my right hip that carries my grunter, can call and small binoculars so that I have them easily available. My pack hangs on the right side of my tree as well at around 1-2 oclock.

Funny guy. Phone auto corrected. I keep it in my DAYPACK......
