Well getting talked into getting some for safety and public land with this saddle but holy crap trying to find some that will fit is a pain. Smallest I see is a 20" but my step up , comfortably at least is like 13" and will probably be less when I throw on some layers so what's eveyone using for climbing sticks for mobile stuff ? Or better yet what everyone getting there kids .... Have a feeling imm have to get some square tubing and make some but diy is frowned upon now days and I can't see myself going though the hassle of SRT and all that to go up all. Of 15'

Ladders typically have 12" rung spacing. You can usually buy a 24' aluminum ladder at an estate auction for about $20.00. At a scrap yard you'll pay a little over a $1.00 a pound for an aluminum ladder. That's likely much cheaper than you can buy or make 15' of climbing stick.

There are shorter sticks. Look up "mini sticks"

Personally skip the sticks and two tether climb. Cheaper and safer.

SRT is pretty easy. Big thing for it is getting your presets out preseason. That way you're not trying to use a throw all in the dark. I will occasionally on an afternoon hunt carry my throwball with me when going to a new spot but it's easier to just 2TC then leave a preset behind. If you suck at throwing the ball, you can use an extension pole to get your throwball over the right limb.

… hawk helium … steps too close together to me .. so should be perfect for you

… when I answer your question… you say thank you

…. You understand me ?

Man I just woke up don't start with me , call the NC double AA on ya now

Don’t sass mouth me boy

Geez Wolfie, as much as you utilize your race card ya oughta at least know the proper acronym for your association.

You use it more then me lol

I'm just trying to figure out what you want the National Collegiate Athletic Association to do to Savell.

lol. Was wondering the same thing! NC double AA? So that would be NCAAAA?


I was thinking NCAA but maybe it’s National Collegiate Athletic Association Alcoholics Anonymous?


Sounds like the worst time hanging out with those people.

…. Maybe it means Never Could Amount to Anything

… in that case it’s kind of fitting lol

N A something idk

Hahahaha

I know what NCAA stands for in WD's context!!! Needs Constant Attention & Applause........

These right here ?

That’s the ones

I'm not too worried about that, lol. I've seen your attempts to meme....

Bet , not bad price either hopefully these will put the wife at ease a little more

Man how high up do you even need to be at a minimum? Never really even thought about it

You only need to go up 10’ or so. Unless the shooting lane or angle to the trail is better higher up.
Just my opinion and experience.


And wear a harness unlike what Savell is doing. .

… I like about 25 ft … harder to get winded and you can get away with movement

But practice up that high. Your shots with a bow will be different WD. Gotta calculate the range and hight off the ground.

With a bow … aim at the bottom of their chest … allows for the deer to drop too

Yup

Ain't got much of a choice with these saddles lol main tether my line mans belt and this thing has a built in harness

With hogs your supposed to aim even lower right ?

Just make sure you maintain all the lines. They will fray rubbing on the tree. I’m sure you’re aware of that though.

Hope you smoke a big old doe or something.

20 ft us rule of thumb. If you can get into cover lower than that, so much the better. If you're in a tree that's practically a telephone pole with. I limbs, you might need to go 30-40...

Interesting only ever ground hunted so .... Like I've seen someone people like 40-50' up and I'm just like why
Actually talked to one guy who hunts the national forest, said he likes being 50' ... Asked why and said with a 700 GR arrow he's shooting straight down and just though everything..... Idk about all that but hayyy

I don't think I've ever deer hunted from higher than 12' and I've killed a county limit almost every year doing so.

Keith

My most successful tree stand, when I used a tree stand was about 10', probably closer to 8, it was in a bushy white pine though...
Usually just hunted on the ground, killed them fine and didn't have to climb a tree..lol

…. I like to look down on things

[quote=Wolfdog91]


Some areas the deer are trained to look up. If you don't have any cover from limbs, you can get picked off if you don't get higher. Gotta watch when hunting near the tops of hills too. If you climb above the top of the hill Bd no cover, you skyline yourself to anything below the hill.
Climbing too high ud not good for close in shots as you have no margin for erro.

I had the thirty inch helium sticks and cut them down to twenty four inches. When I climb I only used three of them with an aider on the bottom step.

I bought the Skeletors from Tethrd for this year, and will run three of them the same way as the others.

Just go down to the nearest shoe store and tell’em you’re a disco dancer and want to buy a pair of “elevator” shoes!

Keith

Ok so another dumb question but then you say to cut them down , do you like cut out a chunk and weld them back together oorrr

Wolfie you can post all the questions about hunting online u want but it still don't make u a hunter

I was hoping u would stick to those fabulous pole climper spikes

… hey yessir … put some dead deer in here with me

… my biggest with a bow

My biggest. It doesn't count cause it was a horizontal bow

Unfortunately most states on public ground you can't use spikes. Some landowners aren't fans of of them either if they are hoping to sell timber in the future.

Not much timber business around here and didn't realize that

How old were you there, 14? LOL

Wolfie u post some hunting pics

We got trees. Just not much logging here in Central KS. Once in awhile you will see someone logging a few walnuts but that's it.

…. I remember back when 330 kilt that biggin

Fell dead in the punkin patch. Nice.

WO post some hunting pics too

Wolfie has been holding out on us

Dang y'all check out captain obvious over here

Its good to be back wolfie!! Did u miss me as much as I missed u??

Same go for trapping?

Behold ....a possum I trapped

I mean guess I'll take you over yote lol

lol, I was speaking in general. Not necessarily toward you. Good catch on that little fella.

Of course. Evidence is important. Why do u think this site let's one post pics....
Thanks wolfie. Yotes good people. I like that she has some fire.

I'm just a goofy goober , y'all know I don't kill anything seem like when you become some high tier hunter trapper killer you gotta do all this bickering

Hay hay hay.... That was pure awesomeness

Make yourself a platform. Put a cam cleat on it, use amsteel full burry from hang free saddle co. Buy some 1 inch strap material and make a 2 or 3 step aider. Use it as a 1 stick. My platform weighs less than 7 lbs.
Put the platform on tree as high as u can get your foot in aider. Climb up on it. Put tether on. Hang from it and take platform off . Push yourself from tree, use tether rope to hold platform to tree letting u use both hands to reattach it. Climb back on platform. Its bo harder than putting sticks up and carrying a platform on your saddle up. And u don't have to carry all that crap around. Thsts why we saddle hunt.
Buy yourself a figure 8 and rappel down.

Where's the cool hat?

Primal edge v steps are a cheaper and light option. I didn't like messing with the straps and getting them to cam over.

Living up to the label I'm just going to say we all know ur buddy shot that..... if u would have shot it it would have had a bullet right through the eye and dozens of pics of u cooking it.....

If you learn to weld up some aluminum platforms, you will be a real popular guy. Welding your own sticks would be the route I would go. Get some lumium and weld to your size and weather.

Packing a bowling ball up there to drop on it?

Nah I CNS shoot pigs , you'd know that if you payed attention

Wolfdog you need to get some moon shoes! You’re prob a bit young to remember them from Nickelodeon. But you could prob bounce right up to where you needed to be!

My day is now made. Must be doing something right.

Zoomed in on the Savell tree stand pic and got this

His entire life is based on this highly misunderstood movie character. Flaws and all.

I thought the character was pretty straightforward. He didnt like folks invading his home life and band members getting out of time during performances

Depends on the situation. As high as 30' and as low as 6' or wait for it sitting on the ground.

Some places its small thick stuff and on the ground you can't see anything and at 10' or above you also can't see much but 6' to 8' you have a few shot openings. Other places you may need an oxygen mask.

I went with a solid ladder when I bought my last one instead of the staggered climbing sticks just becuse i bought it for the kids when they warr small and wanted the steps closer for them.
