I believe Dan is now selling a platform of sort.Infault sells tree stands but no saddle in the lineup. Probably has something to do with his viewpoint on saddle hunting... Follow the money.
Dan will im sure get into saddle market somehow.

Scott who?John Eberhart or Scott Hamilton?
It's funny that you say this as well. This is exactly how I feel. I honestly never cared about growing saddle hunting. I wanted a place that people like me could get together. I definitely feel like I have an advantage hunting out of a saddle and I don't really want to give that up. But I'm fortunate for all of the good friends I've made on here during this journey. Luckily I haven't had a huge influx of saddle hunters in my area. I know there are a few around that I've met through this site, but by home I have never seen one in person. I've only ever found 2 trees prepped for saddle hunting other than my own. Now on my sika hunt I have run into 2 other saddle hunters my last 2 trips.
Edit to add... I must have been doing something right. I made it this far without many people knowing my real identity
It'd be neat to know. Reminds me of how a fraternity has roll numbers in order of join order all time. It would be cool if the forum noted that on the page somewhere, or on your handle or something.Do you happen to remember the first 10 members that created accounts after you started the site? Are they still around?

justsomedude definitely should be on your list too!
@justsomedude was super innovative. We're still seeing things he was messing with commercialized. Like the Drey. When I found my way to the site, I read all his stuff. It'd be worthwhile, imo, for new members to go back and do that. I mean, if just some dude can figure all that out...imagine how far saddlehunting can still go.
Without @redsquirrel none of us would be here.
Speaking of. @Ontariofarmer has been around for a bit as well ;-)Without this site and @redsquirrel I would not be saddle hunting

There are a ton of gems in the catacombs of saddlehunter. I remember a guy was trying to cast an aluminum platform in his backyard!@justsomedude was super innovative.

When I started this I had put a message on the archery talk thread and messaged some of the guys on there about it. John Eberhart made the first 20. I see a couple names in the top 20 that pop up from time to time but man this place has changed since. I'm happy to see @ImThere is still poking his head in now and again. justsomedude definitely should be on your list too!
John definitely had some influence but saddle hunting would definitely never have gotten the reboot that it did if it weren't for this site. Most of the companies around now would not even be here if not for this site. Tethrd basically launched on this site. I would say hands down just by the creation of this site Scott has had the most influence. I think Boswell and new tribe had a little more influence than John. I think they are the ones that kind of kicked it back into gear.
Personally, I think I first took interest in the concept from seeing John use one in one of his videos. Then research from there had me watching youtube videos of Boswell and the original aerohunter evo. Then after buying the evo, it came with a little business card for saddlehunter. And then everything from there spurred from the site.
