One last practice climb before first sit of the season. Second year with compound bow and saddle hunting, first year one sticking and rappelling, and hoping for my first bow deer & saddle deer.

We've been working hard the past few weeks to come up with some big changes to our vendor policies to meet the changing needs of our community. Please see the new vendor rules here: Vendor Access Area Rules
What did you do today that’s related to saddle hunting?

Replaced the Chinese Amsteel that came with my Skeletor’s with some real deal Amsteel from the Amsteel Guy. HUGE difference in quality…

I just got Skeletors! I kept thinking this Amsteel seemed “weak”! I need to upgrade as well!!

Took my one stick and changed the 3 step aider to a 2 step aider. Played around with my new Overwatch outdoors Transformer saddle.

That’s never a good feeling, but it’s part of the game.

Saw that bino harness thread and had a Eureka moment. I hated that big box on my chest, so I usually left them in he truck. After watching that diy video, I made a harness out of 750 paracord. I have a spool of 1/8” amsteel, so I made another one out of it…..now it’s pretty much perfect!
Don't feel bad. I did the exact same thing on my first sit last year.
Purchased a preowned but never used with tag HuntsWorth Sweater for $30. Might nickel and dime myself from ever getting Sitka.

I bought the sharpening stone they sell. I followed the directions on the video and it was shaving hair afterwards.
I Just made some suspenders for my saddle with some tubular webbing I had laying around and elastic from jo ann fabrics

Put 4 zip ties on my Out on a limb B.O.B so the cable for you to pull it up to you when your one sticking dosen't get caught on the bolt for the cam cleat and it work
I pulled one camera and set up another. Which promptly gave me 8+ false triggers before I hit the lot, but no time to go back. 
First time climbing with a 8mm lineman's and Kong instead of my 11mm and prussic. I think I like it

How are you liking this setup? I have the same thing on the way.
It works great but I switched the 3 step to a 2 step Ultimaider. It works better for me.

got some practice shots in from the saddle today. Last time I was several inches off in windage. I corrected my third axis and all seems well. I shot at 25, 18, and 5.
