Stykbow,
What are you looking when you say "hunting setups"?
Thanks,

Hi Boswell,
Actually videos of a hunting set up in another thread people were posting pics but sometimes watching the actually steps in setting up and hunting from a saddle can help the new guys or those who want to try a saddle but haven't yet. I had a chance to try Scott's AH saddle and setup but I'm interested in what types of platforms others are using, since the Ameristep's are becoming so hard to find and expensive, I'm looking for alternatives to that type of system just in case. I have watched many of your other videos and emailed you a couple times a while back about the TL saddle and I'm just hoping to get a better idea as to what might work for me and what might not.
So far I have decided on a AH saddle and what I'm going to use to get up the tree, the drill and peg system, what I'm going to use as a lineman's belt, what type of tree rope and bridge size, but the platform so far is something that I haven't been able to nail down. As I said the Ameristep strap and over the center buckle look great and are portable but hard to find and expensive, regular tree steps would work but require more effort to install and I wouldn't want to have to install and remove them on each hunt so they would be more or less a permanent solution for that set, I have Sky hooks and they might work for that application.
I'm also trying to decide how to get the other equipment to the stand and how to hang and arrange things, I've got several ideas but sometimes when you see someone else's stuff hanging you can get a better idea what might work for your own situation. I have used a Day One camo pack for years but it seems many saddle users prefer bags attached to the saddle so that is something else I'm trying to figure out and for me a visual like a picture or video is much easier for me to understand and decide wether I like it or might not. Thanks Boswell I hope this helps better explain what I meant and what I'm looking to learn.
Roger
