Saddle newb from Illinois

[Goldentriangle85]

Hello fellas,
I’ve been hunting for 20 + years since i was old enough to go with my pops. I’ve only ever met one saddle hunter during my travels and that was 10 years ago and I can rmr thinking he was crazy and that could never be comfortable and never really thought about it again until recently coming across some YouTubers using them. I’ve decided to go with the mantis/predator combo. Looking forward to the journey.
-Luke

Hello from Woodford County. Check out Saddle Rama in Lincoln Land post in Announcements. We're getting some people from the area together March 16 to see what we can learn from each other about all things saddle hunting. We'd love to see you there if you can squeeze it into your schedule.

Thanks for the invite, I will definitely keep that date in mind. Im in Adams county so better part of 3 hour drive but could be done.

Not far at all. I know Carthage very well. Im from Lomax and now reside in Quincy.

Welcome Luke. I'm in Springfield. Definitely hope you can make it in March! I was just working in Quincy all of last week along Broadway.

Inside the actual city limits of Lomax or suburbs?!!!?
Some of us HendCo Hills boys might consider moving to the Gem City a downgrade!!
You sound like an environmentalist I work with?

What are they changing on Broadway? Adding an extra lane I hope!

 

[rakbowhunter]

Ha! Wouldn't that be nice? But no, we are surveying the sidewalk ramps that aren't up to code for handicap accessibility.

Suburbs of Lomax!? haha. Your generous calling it a city. Haven't you read the sign welcoming you to the village. I was outside of town a ways though in those HendCo hills you speak of.

Thanks! I probably drove by you a few times last week.

If @hairy chinch bug and yourself aren't able to meet up in March, maybe we can set up something on the west end at a later date too. He came over to Springfield a couple weekends ago and we had a great conversation.

 

[hairy chinch bug]

Yep - @Goldentriangle85 , we definitely need to use this to our advantage, being only 35 min apart! I have stock LW sticks and have done SRT. I would be glad to meet sometime.

Silom Springs SP might be close enough for @rakbowhunter to join also.

 

[rakbowhunter]

I'm always up for a road trip! Driven by there many times and always wanted to stop.

 

[Goldentriangle85]

Sounds good to me. Ive been wanting to go back out there anyways. Been several years since I hunted it.
