    How about something that doesn’t require screws due to public land?

I started with a few different DIY saddles and ended up upgrading to tethrd when they started up. I am running the Tethrd Phantom, Predator platform, and modified hawk helium sticks this season. I plan on picking up a set of 4 Tethrd One climbing sticks after season is over.

        Hey man I was REALLY looking forward to the class your were putting together and this stupid COVID crap killed that, any chance you will try again after season?

        I really want to move into a saddle but have questions and since no trade shows this year it has made it harder for my decision on what gear to go with

                I LOVE sitting gnarly trees in a saddle. You end up with so much cover that you can almost dance around and not be picked off!

                I just did 13 hours straight in a Tethrd Phantom for the Oklahoma opener.

                Hopefully we can put one together. I don’t know how much they’re going to be wanting to keep pushing big in-person events like the Teach-N-Train events due to the logistics cost of getting everything across country. At the very least, I hope to get together with several guys and do some kind of Dallas area meet up regardless.

                  I run 4x hawk heliums 20" 2 steps with 1 step amsteel aiders, predator platform, and tethrd phantom saddle. In my opinion. Y pack isn't any lighter than running my lonewolf stand. The advantages come with maneuverability to shoot 360 degrees around a tree and keep the tree between you and the deer. With a stand, you are where you are, stuck sticking out into the open.

                      I'm still a little skeptical too. Lets see some of those big deer killed out of them instead of just dudes slinging in them.

                        I agree with this. I’d like to see the kills done from a tree saddle.

                            I like all day sits, and have done them for 20-30% of my sits for about 5 years, and with diy saddles. I sat 13 hours in a Tethrd Phantom on Thursday.

                            I shot this public land P&Y out of a diy sit drag saddle last year...

                              Ya cause we all know real hunters sit in a barker lounger in a heated box with a thermos of coffee and a box of cinnamon rolls and stare at a feeder until straight up 9am.
