Hello Everyone, just finished up my first season of Deer hunting and after alot of thought and some research I decided to try and get my feet wet Saddle Hunting. Because im just getting into im not looking for all the bells and whistles of the "best" gear, more focusing on the best value items.
My question is actually several parts:
1. I checked both new and used saddles and I think I have decided on the XOP Mondo & Edge Saddle/Platform package for the price. Anyone have any experience with them?
2. I am looking at sticks and im between buying new (XOP X3 for about $200) or used (Novix Mini or Latitude SS for around $150 or a Hawk Ranger for $50) for reference im 6' and 235 lbs and wear a size 11 shoe. Any input on these choices, anything I should be looking at?
3. Besides the sticks, saddle (comes with ropes) and platform, any other "must have's"? I think I will probably buy a kong duck but there are so many accessories and terms out there its a little overwhelming.
Thanks in advance to any guidance anyone can give, this seems like a great community and im excited to start putting some time in the woods.
