Whos had more saddle hunting influence?

My vote goes to Bobby Boswell…. He made you tube videos on saddles before most people knew what a saddle was (some of his videos are more than 11 years old now) AND his input and knowledge helped promote and design 2 or 3 of the best saddles ever made. I’m not saying he’s as good of a hunter as either man you offered BUT I think his influence across the saddle industry was as relevant or more relevant to either man.
Edit** now knowing @redsquirrel ’s true identity, I am torn between him and Boswell. Not because he created this site lol but because he had a hand in the design of my favorite ROS :hearteyes: the appropriately named Squirrel step

It's ok to say more relevant, lol

I agree Boudreaux Boswell shared so much knowledge before saddle hunting was popular. I started saddle hunting because of John, but got so much better because of Bobby Boswell
 
Well that makes sense.

I had no-eye-deer who Scott is, lol.

It's funny. Looking back I don't know if it was John or Brad Kuhnert that first had me seriously considering hunting from a saddle. I don't think I would have adapted to it without a platform, but still, chicken or egg.

I never took the bait. DIY Sportsman (Garrett) certainly refreshed my consideration.

But it was the Forum that kind of made me bite on the idea.
 
If I had to guess G2 probably recruited more saddlers than anybody
Yep, before the days of tethrd g2 and DIYsportsman introduced me to mobile hunting, saddles, and got me to this site. The site took it from there.

Love them or hate them ole G2 is still introducing thousands to saddlehunting, it’s just through tethrd marketing now.
