Great advice on ground hunting brother! Thanks for sharing

Back quivers are a vital part of the swing draw . You can make your own and have it fit perfect Howard made his own John made his own Nate makes his own see we’re I’m going with this hint !it’s not hard to do .thats with all your equipment if you want the very best quality make it .

It’s great that you’re back out there! I love your videos!!

All things considered I understand your appreciation about returning to lock ons or a platform of any kind. I too have transitioned over to a saddle system and the new style lock on/platform. I will say while just in a harness alone I feel far more safer in these new style lock on stands compared to the older but with a saddle or a hybrid harness/saddle it really is safe. I would not shy away or hesitate one bit from a least locking on a small saddle platform or even a full size lockon. While your relying on the saddle system it is at least nice to have a small platform to bare some weight every so often and relieve any aches or pains 😅 I suffer from sciatic nerve pain and it's been years since I've truly been comfortable hunting for long periods. A saddle and a "relief" platform is about as good as I've gotten... I've chosen XOP for the price point. Cold world or retrograde(milled aluminum ) for a smaller lockon that can double as a saddle platform although I started with the vanish evo (cast aluminum) that is very affordable! XOP mondo saddle while not the best I'd say a good bang for your buck and is my current saddle but as I continue to run saddle in future I may fine tune my equipment as I see fit. The mondo is nice because it's a saddle/harness hybrid and very comfortable. Allows you to be tethered in multiple spots or change your points of safety if needing to sit for a break if your using a lock on setup

While we've never met, I've run into bowhunters here in the lowcountry that speak of you highly. I started off back in the 1970s wearing the old buckle on, canvas covered wire mesh leggings. I'd wear them with jungle boots. After a few seasons of not seeing snakes, I got foolhardy and put the leggings aside. Then ole' Dale shot a gobbler near Clyde and as he bent down to pick it up, the bird flopped and a canebrake rattler struck the bird. That's what turned us back onto snake boots. I've been through the miserable Rockies and LaCrosse lace boots but now wear Turtleskin gaiters over leather boots now. Helps a lot in briers, too, while bird hunting. Around here, snakes can be out year round. I avoid the sandhills even in the winter on sunny days. EDB's will come out on a sunny day regardless of temps. Most hang out around the gopher tortoise burrow, but they are there. I've known of dogs killed in February on balmy days. I bird hunt in the fall and winter but don't put dogs on the ground in the a.m. unless the temps were in the 40s at night. I kennel them up at 50 F, typically around lunch time. Thanks for preaching to the choir.

Glad to see you back at it. Wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your and some of the other traditional hunter videos. I've always been a traditional bow hunter at heart and with all the modern compounds and even most states opening archery season up to crossbows I was beginning to feel like the lone ranger with my old recurves and longbows. Glad I found all these channels with all that good information. Means a lot to some of us out here. Good hunting. Hope you get yourself another deer soon.

I bought a pair of cabellas the most comfortable I ever had. After about 10 years or so they had blue charcoal soles for scent proofing. But they were hot never smelled.havent been able to replace them yet.

Robert check out the JX3 saddle, I think you will like it.

Hybrid is the way I do it. Best of both.

Gonna be gamey in there for years to come

I really enjoy your hunts! Thanks for taking us along!!

Thanks for taking us with you.

I use a saddle now and then try as many brands as you can and if you go with a platform get one big enough that you stand in and have enough room to move around on 👍✌️🙃

Did you fall last season i dont remember hearing you talk about it

Check out some of the videos of the JX3 hybrid saddle. Super comfortable and safe. I use 3 Tethrd Skeletor sticks and the knaider/swaider from Eastern Woods Outdoors. I've been using one for 4 years and eventually sold my Lone Wolf climber because I never used it again after getting the saddle. 63 yo and a tad over my playing weight. Good luck.

Great video Robert!! I have been hunting with saddle equipment for awhile. Went back to LW Assault 2stand and 3 sticks like Jason. John Tucker Tactisaddle makes really nice saddles. I'm using one of his tree harness/rock climbing sling. Works great best of both worlds. Tree hopper makes a really good sling saddles also. They are really safe! Thanks for your video's

What the ×+/.: is a pound skugg?

It might be different where you live but, where I live you are at an extreme disadvantage ground hunting with a Traditional Bow. The deer are just to jumpy. I have done it but more times than not you end up busted or they jump the string.

Your always fun to watch I appreciate you and enjoy your content GOD bless

Fantastic video. Being new to traditional archery and a Christian. I am very blessed to have stumbled upon your channel.

Thanks for sharing keep on keeping on JIK

Great video Best of luck Be safe

funnels can be tricky, especially in places where storms have trashed the area. I think the saddle would kill my knees, but maybe it will be fine for you. the main thing is being safe and yet productive. I don't recon that I have ever heard them called that but they would mess up a mirror for sure. Good luck Robert, you have 2 freezers to fill LOL.

Congrats on the buck Robert.

Im from Arkansas...we got all kinda names for all kinda stuff...but i have never heard of a pond scoggin...lol

Good morning and good day

Glad to see you back in the woods and swamps no more tree climbing hunting from the ground is the real stuff Robert good luck

This may be too long, Robert, so if you want to delete it, I got it. But my saddle saved me. I was out bow hunting, Nov 7, with my longbow, I was using my 5 year old CRUZR XC and my new LWCG Ranger Hybrid platform. I was 15 feet up and suddenly very very dizzy. As I sat down on the Ranger seat, I looped my 2 year old CRUZR tether over my left shoulder. The next thing I knew, I had passed out and fallen off the platform. When I came back to consciousness, I could see the sky, the tree and my tether. I was hanging by my bridge, parallel to the ground, approximately 15 feet up. Once I realized where I was and what had happened, I grabbed the tether and used it to get back on the platform. My longbow and arrow were laying on the ground where they had fallen. I was not feeling well, but managed to get down safely and get my Ranger down as well. I'm 70 years young and I have a condition where my blood sugar can crash, drop very quickly. In worst cases, I will pass-out. I carry glucose tabs, and after resting and eating them once i got down, my blood sugar stabilized. I am convinced that I would have been severely injured if not for the saddle and the tether. I do not think either the saddle or the tether were damaged, but my upcoming Christmas bonus will be used to purchase a new XC, a new tether and lineman belt and the others retired. I will not stop saddle hunting, but it has given me a reason to pause and reflect. The good Lord decided He needed me here for a while longer. Thank you, Father. Yall stay safe.

Thankful you're trying a saddle, Robert. I've never felt safer in a tree and it's never been easier to tote and climb than using a saddle. Looking forward to seeing how that goes for you.

Sir when you're just sitting there waiting to hear things not moving and then you hear something how do you not look to make sure it's not a bear

I went to buy a saddle stand yesterday, and after looking at it and watching videos, I'm afraid it would be too hard to stay in one for long before hurting my back. I have a sciatic nerve problem. Please keep us posted about it if you get one.

Great to see you back at it. I really enjoy your primitive style and simplicity. Looking forward to next video.

Glad to see you are back in the woods! Your videos inspired me to try hunting from the ground. I still hunt from a tree but I think you gotta have multiple tools so you can be prepared for every situation. Last week It all came together and I got one from the ground with the longbow!

Robert, If you wanted to be very safe with saddle hunting with sticks you could climb with linesman belt and with your tether on (advance tether up the tree as you climb). JRB climbing methods may be the safest but that is opening a can of worms! Be safe!

love your channel. looking forward to watching your funnel video. god bless

You will not regret using a saddle! just ask Mr. Warren Womack! good luck this season.

Brother I have been wishing you would consider a saddle ever since I found your channel. I absolutely love hunting from my saddle. I have a Tethrd Phantom XL saddle and skeletor sticks and I bought a trophy line platform from my local archery shop but the tethrd platforms are awesome as well. The platforms look like tiny locking but are MUCH more secure on the tree. A ring of steps is also a fantastic option. For me, the key is a pair of knee pads so I can occasionally sit with my knees against the tree. I feel safest in my saddle and am very comfortable. Go's bless you brother and good luck. I truly hope that you enjoy a saddle as much as I do.

You hit a what with your truck?

Looks like THP boys sent you some clothes... Good luck RC..

Good hunt Robert, keep after them brother.

You look like a working class Dave Ramsey lmao

Well said, the voice of experience.

Love wandering through God's creation with you! Congrats!

Congrats

Did land nav at Warrior Leadership Course on Ft. Stewart and got off track looking for a point. Ended up deep in woods among palmetto. That’s when I knew I was off track. Now, I do a ton of fishing on Stewart and have seen coyotes, bobcat, hogs, snakes, and am glad I didn’t run into one that day deep in the woods.

I live in michigan. We only have one venomous snake here. I did live in Louisiana while in the army and feel really fortunate that I never had an encounter with snakes. If I ever get the chance to hunt in the south, snake boots will be one of the first things on my packing list

Dang it .I can bring you gear. What you need.

Are the chestnuts you’re talking about, American chestnuts?

Congratulations brother, God bless you and yours.

God is good my friend
