New Saddle

[Long Range]

Ok guys, I'm new to saddle hunting. I hunt some public with long walks. I already have hawk mini sticks. So I need a saddle and platform. I'm on a budget so keep that in mind. I'm 5'-7 and 135 lbs. So give me your recommendations.

Best quality budget combo I can think of would be CGM sidewinder

& Trophyline EDP

SOLD- Trophyline EDP platform for sale- like new!

Got a TL EDP for sale. Like new condition! Only hunted with a couple times. Never out in the rain or bad weather. Only selling because I want to try something different. Replaced the red versa button with a Beast versa button. Will throw in the original red button also if you want it. Also comes...

Grab the HSP platform for $29 and bolt it to the top of your hawk stick. As far as a saddle, lots of options. Figure you’re gonna be in for 250-300. If you can’t swing that, keep saving.

H2 slingshot for me. Was my first and only saddle and have been very pleased with it over my first two seasons in a saddle. Cut up an old steel hang on and used the seat portion as my platform.

So what device are yall using from the tether to your bridge??

 

[Bigterp]

Depends on tether choice?

I was thinking of a rope tether. 8 or 11 mm

I was able to pick up a handful of these when the price dropped to $50. I originally bought them to have some extras for buddies to use when they went with me on public.

I did a few 5-6 hour sits in one this year during bear season. They were well worth the money.

I cut the metal D off them so it’s a Webbing bridge.

I’ll look and see how many I have and might be able to give you a deal on one.

11mm mechanical would most likely be ropeman1, 8mm depending on rope mechanical would be long duck & hitch for either could be 6mm sterling trc. Depends what on what your preference is.

This ^

A fleece saddle backed up by a RCH is one of the cheapest and most comfortable options. If I had tried one before I bought my commercial saddle, I probably wouldn't have the commercial saddle.

Plus the RCH can be used for treestand hunting.

Fleece Saddles

I've wanted to try a fleece saddle. The RCH always holds me back. Is there a decent but moderately priced RCH out there that has lineman loops already on it? I haven't looked a ton but I've never found one.For less than the $ and time spent on an RCH and adding the linesman loops, you can get...

Look at Eberhart Signature Series saddle on Tethrd website. I have been hunting out of saddles for a very longtime and have 5 different saddles and since I got the ESS saddle it's all I have used. Very comfortable and is the least expensive saddle I own but it's the best.

Ok guys. So here is an update. I bought a H2 saddle with the triad bridge. I hunted my first set with it today. Saddle was comfortable. Need to work on putting up my sticks. Need to slow down and not hurry! So when in cold weather do you put your saddle over you coats or under??

Which platform did you go with? Also I am from Florida so cold weather doesn’t really apply but on the occasions that we get in the 30’s or low 40’s I wear my saddle over my top jacket, so that the bridge loops aren’t creating an air gap

^^^ yes!!!! for people on a serious budget that’s about the best suggestion you can make, followed by the notch for $50. Then the classifieds here you can sometimes pick up a steal of a deal!
