Howdy, my name is Zach. I’m 33 years old, originally from Tampa, FL. Grew up fishing and never hunted. I’m active duty Navy and just spent the last six years in Hawaii. We’ve recently been relocated to Southern Maryland and I have wanted to start hunting ever since we found we were moving here. I had never shot a bow before and a neighbor was out shooting his and asked if I wanted to try it. I said yes and after that first shot, I haven’t gone a day without shooting my bow. I absolutely love it. I have finished the online portion of my hunter’s safety course, just waiting for this virus to allow the field day portion to open back up.
I spent more hours than I care to know on YouTube and the internet researching tree stands and saddles and decided to just dive head first into saddles for the safety aspect primarily. I purchased this custom kit through Tethrd: Phantom saddle, Predator stand, Tethrd lineman belt and tree tether, SYS Hauler ES, recliner, and HYS strap. I didn’t realize until after I made my purchase that they sell the Ropeman 1 Ascenders so I will be back for those. I also personally want to thank Tethrd for their military discount, that was an incredible gift.
I didn’t grow up with any hunting influence, all men in my family were into sports and I thoroughly enjoyed sports growing up. However, I have a two year old son now and with the way education, sports, and society are going.. I’d rather spend my free time with him in the woods and I haven’t hunted a day yet in my life. In Maryland, we can bow hunt from the first week in September through January 31st and then there’s spring turkey.
I apologize for the long post, I’m actually a man of few words so I’m not sure where this came from. But, I’ve lurked here for months now and since I’ve now made my saddle purchase I wanted to tell someone about it. I don’t have any hunting buddies yet and I’m sure my wife is already sick of me talking about it!
