Yes, I agree a hundred percent. It is not for any type of east coast saddle hunting set up or for the standard daily white tail hunt at all. I would not recommend it for saddle hunting or bringing up a tree in any way. There are many better options for that.I really like the thought process on the suspension, but overall it seems pretty western focused still. Well worth the money, no doubt, but could use refinement for eastern whitetail to be at it’s best for that pursuit. again, imo.
