Hello,
I'm Tom from SE Michigan, if my name didn't already give that away
Like most new guys on here, I've been reading and watching everything I can about saddle hunting for a couple years or more. I was afraid to make the switch from stand hunting to saddle hunting due to a previous back surgery, but after talking to John Eberhart and Ernie from Tethrd the last 2 yrs at the Outdoorama I feel comfortable in my decision to give it a try! What sealed the deal for me was being able to sit in the Phantom last week at the show. It was my first time sitting in a saddle and i was like, wow this isn't so bad, I might actually like this style of hunting! What amazed me was, I'm standing there talking to the Tethrd guys and not one of them were trying to sell me their saddle, not even Ernie! All they wanted to do is to show me this style of hunting is comfortable and a great way to hunt, they didn't care if I bought their saddle, another brand or made my own. That spoke volumes about Ernie and the Tethrd crew!! They would rather see someone enter the saddle hunting world than buy the saddle they're selling. So thank you Tethrd for being patient with me while I hung in your saddle asking a lot of questions and for being my witness that my wife said in front of them that I was "allowed" to buy a saddle!! lol
I'm looking forward to this next obsession and all that I will learn from everyone here on Saddle Hunter!
