In my last video I posted, I unboxed my new Trophyline Hunting Saddle. This is a new technique for hunting for me and I am excited to bring every step of my process on how I learn to use it to you. In the video, you will be going with me on my first climb to get used to it. I have read the instructions and watched many videos on this but by no means am I a expert so don't take this video as the gospel instructional video. I am just bringing you on my learning process and letting you watch me make my mistakes so that hopefully you won't. Hope you enjoy and please like and subscribe to our channel. Thank you!!

I didn’t realize Darth Vader hunted from a saddle. I’m just messin’ with ya. Thanks for sharing the video.

Darth Vader hunts from wherever he wants. LOL!! Still learning about good mics and mic placement. Thanks for busting my chops. 😆

I started saddle hunting last year and it takes some practice before you get in the woods to hunt. After a few hunts I started to get the hang of it.

Absolutely, the more I hunt and practice the more comfortable I get with it. I truly enjoy hunting out of it and hope to do a bunch more this fall. Good Luck this fall!

Great vid. I'd recommend one sticking off the jump, and practicing with your gear in the off season. Even better if you could get rid of sticks altogether and experiment with two tether climbing or using something like the sladder.

I am researching new and different ways to saddle hunt. I really enjoy this system and would like to have some sticks to leave in trees for up to a week at a time(on private ground) and a light easy climbing system for mobility. I will definitely have more videos if I decide to start working on a new system. Thanks for your advice, it's greatly appreciated.

Had over 30 sits last fall saddle hunting. The one thing I learned and very much suggest to few people that get interested in it. Look at repelling out of the tree vs climbing down even if you’re using steps.

I have been thinking about giving it a try. Seems like it would be quick and easy to learn. Stay tuned, maybe I will give it a try and make a few videos of it. Thanks for the encouragement.

I have the same trophy line setup, I got 2 rope mans and it makes life much easier.

@bluecatoutdoors 8 месяцев назад

Just got mine in. Can't wait to get back from Colorado hunt to try them out.

Look into getting amsteel ropes for your sticks and platform. Cam buckles have been known to fail.

Thank you for the advice, I will have to investigate this.

Ascenders are the way to go but until then, put your tag line through the carabiner and it will make what they call a poor man's ascender

@bluecatoutdoors 7 месяцев назад

I have received my ascenders and look forward to trying them out. I have a feeling it's gonna be a night and day difference. I will remember that trick for future reference, thank you.

Daisy chain your lineman rope... then clip it to your lineman loop

@bluecatoutdoors 8 месяцев назад

I will give that a try. Thank you!

Bunch of people that dont know how to acquire a new technique tellin you to not saddle hunt. For me it was a complete game changer and definitely the most comfortable/safe hunting ive ever done. Ropemans are a good alternative to prusiks. However i srt climb so no need for steps for me only a platform and rope. And rappelling from hunting height to me is the safest easiest and pretty fun way down i use a guide atc to ascend and back it up with a distel hitch above for any accidents. With srt there is never slack introduced to the system so no worry of shock fall (if done right).

@Quackattack84 8 месяцев назад

Also i forgot to mention any type of tether i use to hold me at hunting height or somewhere i will be hangin for a while i tie a catastophe knot that has just a little slack incase of a prusik/ropeman/ whatever is holding you slips or breaks. So it would be tether from tree to prusik holding your weight and then the rope coming out the back of the prusik with a couple inches of slack and then a good removable knot hooked to your bridge as a second safety. And there are many friction hitches that are easier to break to adjust height than a prusik my favorite at the moment is the distel because it can be broke to lower yourself a little with your full body weight hanging just by pulling down on the top. Which would make me nervous except i always tie the catastrophe not incase it gets away from me.

Thank you for the advice and encouragement to keep trying the saddle. I am looking forward to doing a couple hunts out of it soon.
