Welcome to MADHUNTS Adventures!
My desire is to bring you real, fair-chase videos of my failures, successes and screw-ups mostly on public land. I also enjoy helping my fellow sportsmen by providing reviews on saddles and other hunting gear.
When I spend time in God’s creation I am continually amazed at how all of the beauty, and often overlooked intricate details of of His creation point back to Him! Romans 1:20 "For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse."
It is my desire to honor the Lord in everything I do while in the outdoors and in the content I create for this channel. 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
Thank you for checking out my channel, and feel free to comment, like, subscribe, and/or ask any questions you may have!
May God bless you!

3D Archery 2024
After three years off my wife and I hit the 3D range so I could clear the cobwebs. I'm planning on rebuilding my form and shooting skills as my scores continue to climb over the summer season.

JRB Cinch Pull Down Fix! Check This Out!
Hey Matt, that's a really nice 3D course. I've never done a 3D course and if I had one like that around, I'd be there all the time. Anyway, good to see you and God Bless!
Thank you, John! Yeah it is the nicest course I've ever shot and it's completely free. I'm thankful it's close by. 👍🏼
The link for the spreadsheet is not valid. Is there a way I can get to it? Interested in seeing all the reviews.
Wish you would do a review on the sladder climbing system
Ownin ur sh t u the man. Enjoy 😉
Is hangn30 out of business?
Brother, I'm so proud to see another video from you. I enjoyed, thanks for sharing
Thank you, Chad! Hopefully I'll have time to put a few out here and there. 👍🏼
I'm also going to attempt a summit this Sept (2024), thanks for posting this video. I realize there are no maps but how did you determine there was an alternate route? I'm assuming (on your second attempt) you followed the same path (as the first attempt) then at some point you just broke off that trail to pick up the alt route? I guess you just have to hope for some cairns to mark the trail. Thanks again!
Hope you have a great summit, Greg! I'd love to do that hike again. 👍🏼 If you pause the video at 3:58 that is the gravel start of the knife edge. The red rocks ahead are the start of it and where I turned around my first attempt. If you go that far you've already passed the easier route to the summit. While paused at 3:58 you can see the loose rock valley down to the left, that is where you want to be. If you pause the video at 7:18 and 7:26 you'll see the valley of loose rock and if you look up to the right (7:26) you can see the knife edge from frame 3:58. I hope this all makes sense. Basically, as you're nearing the summit, you'll want to keep an eye out for a trail that breaks off to the left and takes you up the valley where you'll have to scramble up the loose rock. It was a little hard to follow the trail but people have stacked rocks so look for those. Hope that helps! Make sure to let me know how it goes in Sept! 🤜🏼
Wow! Quite the hiatus I’d say. No wonder you’re feeling it. Fighting that dang wind isn’t helping either. 👍👍
😂 Exactly! I'm definitely getting stronger since that video and hope to up the poundage a little bit in the next week or so. Thank you for watching. 🤜🏼
@@madhuntsadventures it will come back fast. Like just few weeks. I had gall bladder surgery and had to wait 6 weeks. Had to back off bow 10 lbs and then it was a chore. ( I shoot year round ). I worked hard a few shots every day. In four weeks I was drawing max DW just fine and shooting very well. I’m 73 years old and it was a challenge deluxe to get back ready for deer season.
Great to see you Matt. I’m happy for your success on the RV channel 👍
Thank you, Dave! I truly appreciate it.
Hi Matt, I was wondering why you haven’t posted in a while-didn’t know about the other channel but I’ll check it out. I certainly enjoyed your Montana videos from before. Great to see you are doing well. Enjoy life my friend!
Thank you very much, James! Montana was one of our absolute favorite places and we hope to get back there again. Thank you for the kind words. 😊
Glad to see you back Matt. That looks like a great course. and did you say it's free?
Thank you, Nate! Yessir, completely free and one of the nicest courses around. 😊
Glad to see you back!! I haven't shot my bow yet this off-season. I need to. Thanks for the video and the update!
Thank you, Tom! Hopefully you can get out and shoot just for fun. It is so relaxing. 😊
Glad to see you’re back matt. Looking forward to seeing your season
Thank you, Brian! I hope it is a good one. 😊
Oh hey buddy
Well hello there! 😂 Great to hear from you, man! How's that trad shooting going?
Matt, it's been a while. Glad to see you back. I didn't even know you had another channel- i'm subbed now. We love camping. However its more of Glamping with my family.
Well there is no way I'm keeping up with your release of vids but I'll try to put one out here and there. 😂 Thanks for subbing on our RV channel. We truly appreciate it. 👍🏼
Great to see you make a video my friend!! Looking forward to seeing what else you put out this year! Looks like a very cool 3D archery range. Might have to make the drive and shoot it with you one of these days. 😊
Would love to have you down to shoot. It is one of my favorite 3D ranges and it is completely free which makes it even better. Always appreciate your support. 🤜🏼
Great video thanks for sharing
Thank you, scrubbuster! I appreciate you watching. 👍🏼
What size ring are you using? I got a large ring and carabiner and having a hard time advancing it and cinching for some reason
I got into saddle hunting several years ago because I liked mobility. I wanted to be able to hunt from the ground and then move to a tree if i wanted to without hauling a bulky stand. I started with my father-n-law’s tree spurs and arborist harness. When I put an arrow in a doe in the swamp behind my house I was hooked. Unfortunately I didn’t find that doe, but I started investing in the right equipment and love “one sticking”. Thanks for sharing your opinion. Saddle hunting is not as popular in my area because it’s legal to bait and hunters typically set up permanent stands. I thoroughly enjoy it because it makes hunting more interesting and mobility forces you to learn how to hunt deer in their element. I also use a rifle with my saddle as well. God bless!
What bow holder do you like?
I'm going through this now and enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing.
Can you post a video on the complete setup? Also can that method ascend with you going up?
Thank you
Great video! I really appreciate you showing how you packed them in and get them up the tree. I am brand new to saddle hunting and it helps a lot to see things like that!
What carabiner are you using while you one stick?
Great question! Here is a short explaining the biner I use... ua-cam.com/users/shortss5k3KJKiZrc
Watch (ONE STICKING) for the newest way to one stick. It's safer, easier, and quieter.
I am leaning towards a CGM Cobra for my first saddle purchase this year. I am torn on the waist belt though. Rope belt with sliding knot. Webbing belt with D ring buckle. Upgrade to a Raptor buckle. Upgrade to a Cobra buckle with D ring like a riggers belt for a secondary safety option… Any guidance or suggestion is appreciated. Thanks
What type of belts do you prefer on your saddle?
Is this their Ghost Grey color scheme?
Thanks for the review. How does this one compare to the Phantom? Where did you get the large camo pouch? Most of the ones I see are too small.
Absolutely! Thanks for watching. If you check out my spreadsheet you can see exactly how they both compare (and rank overall). Here is a link to the pouch I'm using... amzn.to/4aA2koz Here is my spreadsheet... drive.google.com/file/d/1uzJuCfXeS_v2LldV689qplHTS_R0M48L/view?usp=sharing
Heck of a buck! Congrats!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching. 😊
I don't understand why they don't make a quick link with a spring-loaded screw gate 😒
Nice
I just ordered my Cobra. Jerry was the absolute best on the phone. He talked to me like I was his best friend and not even know if I was calling to make a purchase. He won my business. The fact that they are American made, American source and berry compliant is a huge plus on top of everything else
That’s actually not a Cornell hitch. Your tying it incorrectly. When you bring the top leg down and across, go under your tether and over the other leg of the hitch and poke under the x. You went under the other leg not over, missing a big portion of the friction hitch!
The great thing about sitting in a saddle is that there are a tone of adjustment options. You can sit, lean, stand, kneel to the tree, lean your hip against the tree....
thanks for the video im on the fence 🤔how high can you climb with the sticks?
I didn't measure it but I would guess about 18 feet with comfortable spacing (I'm 5'10").
@@madhuntsadventures ok thanks 👍
I thought 1 sticking used 1 stick as stick AND platform, so actually 1 stickong wpuld not have a platform fall off, as the platform would be attached to tbe tree! Would the mudflap work well to hold the majority of a rappelling rope if 2 tether climbing or stick clombing?
They seem to fly fairly straight.
I'd love to own this thing! I need a new saddle, mine is getting unsafe. Got two seasons out of it. It's mainly the belt and leg straps that are defeated.
I just went through your spreadsheet which is a great bonus, thanks. My issue is I am currently at 289 but still going down. Which, if any, of the saddles you have reviewed would you recommend for large hunters? I know I will be under the 300lbs weight limit, but I am worried about the waist/side pinch. Thanks
Great question, gcaskew (and sorry for the delay)! Well there are several great saddles out there but since you've mentioned you are a bigger guy I would recommend talking to the saddle manufactures that will custom build a saddle for you. One in particular is Custom Gear Modifications (CGM). If you contact Jerry (tell him I sent you) he will talk with you and custom build a saddle for you/your size. The Cobra saddle by CGM is a great single panel saddle with a pleat that expands for comfort. As far as the hip pinch concern, I would order a HPE (Hip Pinch Eliminator) from Genesis 3D Printing (let Austin know I sent you) and you won't have to worry about ANY hip pinch from any saddle ever. It is a GREAT product. Hope that helps!
Been using the JRB Maverick, pole hitch climbing SRT
bummer the spreadsheet does not exist at this time wanted to find out the 3 way tie
You can always check my most recent saddle review video for the latest spreadsheet. Here is a link... drive.google.com/file/d/1uzJu...
Just bear with me. I took down my latest SRT climbing & rapell system out of a climbing 🌳 in my yard. I did it an hour after sundown in chilly MN. All o had to assist was my dim headlamp. I also 30 feet up in a maple 🌳. The crotch or union in the 🌳 is @ 32' feet. I repelled down from 30' & collapsed my whole system in the dark in less than 5 minutes. The preset I use to attach my climbing rope to the 🌳 was tied nicely 7' up. My system is a Sterling CRV 9MM rope with a large sewn loop. That sewn loop is what the tag end of my SRT climbing line goes through to the ground. A length of paracord that has a loop @ the end attached to a clip @ the base of the large sewn loop is all that is needed. I simply pull the girth hitch out of the tree. When the loop is on the ground the other end of the paracord loop I going over the crotch 3×' up. When that comes down u simply wrap the clip & the loop around a 🌳 like 7' off the ground. Exactly like u would do after an evening hunt. If u take 8 feet of Oplux there is a way to make an adjustable redundant bridge that is not single but double Oplux with just one single link of chain & no carabiner. I do alot of 🌳 cutting up off the ground & the redundant bridge supports my lifeline in case something in the tree fails that I'm tied into that I have a backup to another 🌳 nearby which will avoid me from hitting the ground. It's a very easy to tie the redundant bridge that way. My saddle is tied on the right side & on the left the Oplux simply just threads its way to the loop on the left & comes back to the right side to finish the hitch system. 😮😅
Cobra saddle is the best
Looks like a great saddle.can you srt climb with it .Thank you Greg
Great question! Unfortunately I don't SRT climb so I'm not 100% sure on that. Just reach out to John (owner of JX3) and he can answer any question you have.
Great video and info
Was that first blood from your nose being 27' up in the tree ? Thats some serious altitude !!
The goal of Saddle Hunters is to be light weight whereas the goal of people who do a Rucking workout program is to carry heavy weight for long distances. I've just taken up Rucking and its funny that I was so worried about being light weight and I spent a lot of money to weigh less. If I continue Rucking I will have to spend a lot of money to weigh more. 😂
😂😂 Well as a saddle hunter and self filmer I feel like I'm rucking every time I go hunting! I'm definitely not saddle hunting to cut down on weight. Thanks for watching. 👍🏼
We love the JX3 and John is an awesome guy! I can’t wait for his next hybrid to come out…..
Thanks for watching, WHS! John is definitely a class act. 👍🏼
