Hi, Everyone. All of your forum posts led me down the path of purchasing a Tethrd Phantom and some Hawk Helium climbing sticks to give hunting from a saddle a go
Forgive me for my ignorance, as all of the deer hunting I have ever done is either from a fixed ladder stand or ground blind, so I have 0 experience with climbing sticks or the Tethrd Predator platform I purchased.
I've searched this forum and Google low and high and I cannot find the answer. When I am cinching the sticks or the platform, it's not like a ratchet strap where it sticks. If I yank at the strap by holding onto it, I can pull it out, because the buckle doesn't lock. Is the buckle supposed to actually lock on these straps??
Every time I set a stick, it seems to really yank down the strap before it catches in the tree.
Am I missing something? Does the buckle lock or is there no way to do this to be 100% safe?
