How To Bow Hunt From A Saddle… TOUGHEST SHOTS!

[@alexb9497]

Getting into a saddle for the first time this year and trying to learn as much as I can ahead of time. This is by far the most comprehensive video I've found, you hit all the stuff I could think of. If you don't already have one, you should make a video of how you climb all the way to hunting height with the sticks, awesome vid!

[@spencerhess9019]

Another good tip if you get bad poison ivy and poison oak is to make sure your tree is clear of that also! 😂 I see the the he’s demonstrating on isn’t but some people don’t get it as bad as others

[@TheElementWild]

Haha! I do believe that’s just Virginia Creeper.

[@patpat728]

@@TheElementWild I just stay away from hairy vines. Poison ivy is everywhere here in Texas, and they have hairy vines when they get big on trees like that. That one there looks just like poison ivy. Even the vines without leaves can get ya!

[@chuckparson6712]

You were REALLY prepared to take a #1 from the saddle from the start 😂 I think I got poison ivy watching you touching all over that huge vine 😂. Thanks for the tips. I started saddle hunting last season. LOVE IT ✌

[@patpat728]

I came here to see if anyone else commented on the huge poison ivy vine!

[@NGraz]

Same here he had to of gotten it. Great video

[@Jackofalltrdes]

Great video, your Mic and editing is great! Despite the wind we can hear you nice and clear. I appreciated that haha

I’m in the saddle now for the 3rd time and have been watching vids and this one was by far the best one! It helped me get comfortable and showed me how to take sitting breaks if needed! And those shooting angles also are very helpful! Thank you for posting!

[@GregorsOutdoors]

Excellent info and well-explained. I recently had a buck come in at my 4 o'clock I am a right-handed archer also. I was knees to the tree and couldn't stand for fear of detection. When the deer went behind a clump of brush I passed the bow from my right hand to left over the tether as you showed at the 1 o'clock shot you took. It was not comfortable but I made it happen. Saddle hunting isn't for sissies. There is a lot of freedom to move about but there's a lot of stuff that can go wrong when the deer shows up unannounced in the wrong zone you set up for.

KC is the best teacher on KZbin. I feel like my brother is teaching me how to do something. You can tell he’s been camp counselor or worked with youth at some point.

[@wvbowhunter1]

Awesome video. As a new saddle hunter this answers a lot of questions I had!

[@jasonwalters7928]

Genesis 3D makes an excellent lightweight accessory called a Hip Pinch Eliminator that spreads that bridge out even more. Makes a huge difference in comfort level even if hip pinch isn’t a major issue

[@Michaeldpress14]

Those saddles are game changers !

[@calhiser8265]

Thanks This is the content that i have been searching for. Actually shooting from a saddle. Wonderful perspective.

[@michaellacour7377]

great instructional video. TY.

[@powellriver100]

A sailors bosun chair works like a charm also !!

[@jeffhouse9387]

Solid video dude! Thanks!

[@Philip_Corley]

Amsteel is what your bridge is made. Amsteel is not suitable for using with a ropeman1 or other mechanical prusik for several reasons. I think your tether and lineman are both sterling climbing rope like rock climbers use. You mentioned it at the start when you where going over your setup. Sorry for bringing it up. I use the same tether and lineman with a mechanical prusik too, but my bridge setup is a little different. I love you guys though and I've been a huge fan since y'all started. Glad you guys decided to give us some summertime content.

[@IVGHOSTLY]

Good video. I personally like to try to and set my sticks to my left side so I can step onto it to make my weak side shot.

[@TheElementWild]

Great idea!

[@Wildnatureman]

Need the seatbelt tip today 🤦‍♂️ Thank you! Lesson learned 🦌 🏹

[@hunterdolanch8725]

Really enjoyed this video, great presentation!!!!!!!

[@tylerjonesoutdoors]

Great bit of teaching K.C.!

[@antonhuman8446]

Top grade explanation. Thanks.

[@carlparisi9749]

I set my sticks up 1/4 of the tree away on my left so I can just loosen my bridge up and swing around the tree. That way the tree is always in front of you and there is less movement. You gotta make sure ur sticks are on solid though and leaning that hard can be uncomfortable.

[@toddhatten354]

Well done! Thanks for the info.

[@mnteamharvest3220]

Gotta zip your fly lol, great demonstration definitely plan to try one out

[@shareTNT]

Nice video, watch out for those poison vines going up the tree. Thanks for sharing some good tips!

[@BackyardBowShop]

I don’t think it’s poison ivy. It’s creeper vine that can irritate the skin but not as bad as poison ivy/oak. I’ve always called it Georgia creeper but some people call it Virginia creeper.

[@iSchneggs]

INFORMATIVE! Thank you!

[@texashunter]

Great vid. Thanks!

[@mscsm2946]

Well done, great information

[@spline8518]

Grate video thanks for your time and advice!!!

[@michaelboyle9512]

I went the single rope technique instead of the climbing sticks. I'm ramping up for my first successful hunting season. I'm open to advice and ideas.

[@DrMantisTobaggan]

Thanks for the info, really helpful

[@kristenzaldivar6338]

It is a great low maintenance

[@clarkansas6590]

Good job

[@TheSlingshotShow]

Great video! are you wearing the FL origin hoody in this??

[@TheElementWild]

Thanks! Yes. That’s an Origin Hoody. Great piece of gear.

[@MrSkunkworkx]

Been looking more and more at a saddle...great info, thanks.

[@TheElementWild]

The CRUZRs are awesome!

[@michaelsnook4170]

What kind of climbing sticks are those?

[@smitty88190]

Is that the 8mm rope that cruzr sends with it ? I just got the cruzr and trying to find the mechanical prussic for that size rope not having any luck?

[@TheElementWild]

The “kong duck” is what we’ve always used and they work great with the 8mm ropes.

[@toddbennett6737]

How do you pee or get in a pocket. Seems like it would be hard to keep good form shooting my bow on offhand side dangling from ropes. Don't get the interest bow hunting while dangling

[@cassietaylor2004]

Where can I get that brand of saddle ?

[@TheElementWild]

It’s a Cruzr Saddle! Tell ‘em we sent ya. They’re great people!

[@georgestuart5669]

What model CRUZR Saddle is this?

[@TheElementWild]

XC

[@garymajka1708]

What is the axle to axle lenth

[@TheElementWild]

33”

[@joshuan2402]

Anyone notice the poison ivy

[@OutdoorRhodes]

Practice makes perfect. While I get in the tree I practice for the first 5 minutes and that 1 o’clock gets easier. Always practice in the tree once up because tree aren’t the same. I shot my buck in the position. Check out the hunt on my channel.
