@@whitetailwarriorsdeercamp88 thank you I appreciate that greatly!! Haha yeah gotta have fun with it. First time huntin barefoot.. those steps really made it not fun. I’ll do the woods no problem

@@skylerbaker5006 Early doe firearm season was Sept 21-22 on both public and private. There’s also the youth and liberty hunt the weekend before. It’s all in the deer digest!

​@@BarefootDave_Hehe!

Freedom of speech? Don't watch it..also your freedom of choice..hope this helps

@@briansullivan7997 👏👏

Snag your uterus on the way to the comment section?

@@bushonry 😂👏 trying to get the sand out

One word! freedom!

@@vaughnprecision thank you so much, I appreciate that!

Hmm I don't have any issues with volume and haven't heard that from anyone either. I will test on other devices. Thanks for the heads up!

@@Poppaott84 thanks!

@@LaurieM883 nice! Be sure to always clip in on for practice because it changes my point of impact a bit. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

@@tushers that does seem odd. There will be a little flex but that’s the trade off when it comes to weight savings and portability. I agree that it’s not bad at all.

@@douglasgillenwater5803 Bullman Outdoors Platform steps. Best on the market

@@chrisbelaen628 oh boyyy 😂😂

@@chrisbelaen628 thanks Chris!

@@misupercooner black foam with the beast gear name and logo on it. Idk what the old seat was like so I can’t compare.

@@BarefootDave_ ok thanks

@@chrisbelaen628 yessir! Very close. Hit me up on IG so we can chat

@@chrisbelaen628 @barefootdave_

I appreciate that, thank you! I’m excited to try them out this season!!

@@BarefootDave_ you won’t be disappointed

Great tips!

Agreed! They do work great together

Bullman Outdoors HD ratchet. Yes it was loud but like I said, Bullman has a video on how to make it quiet. I would never ratchet it like that in the woods. I’ll take an extra 60 seconds to do it quiet and slow.

Thank you, that means a lot! It is tough and that’s why I love it. It would be awesome to hear what you have learned over the years and how it’s changed with the increased pressure. One last weekend left 🤞

LOVE THE PASSION! Haha. I haven’t used their climbing steps yet, but am very interested in trying it

You need atleast 6 platform steps, I run 8 so I have plenty of footing all way around tree ...

To quiet it down and prevent any metal on metal contact. Any clanks will ruin your hunt before it starts.

That’s a very good idea! I’ll be doing the same. I had a missed opportunity on a buck from last weekend, so going back to the same spot to chase him again. It’ll be easy to find their trails. Good luck!

@@BarefootDave_ right on... Same to you, if the wind is ripping I planned on tackling/ still hunting.

@@normankaster917 man it was a cold weekend! No luck for me

I tend to not run into that many people, only happened twice this year out of 20 or so times I’ve been out. Here’s what I think: If I’m by other people, then I’m not scouting hard enough to get away from the pressure. Mature deer are going to avoid those areas. If I notice a super blown out spot, I usually film it, but don’t on the random ones here and there. This video and the No Deer November one, I point out 2 spots that were ridiculously crowded.

Thanks for the feedback, would you mind if sent you a dm I’m a new hunter and I’m full of questions.

@@akins2262 yes absolutely! I started this channel to help wherever possible. Hit me up on IG @barefootdave_

For sure! It’s definitely very dangerous and safety is something that I do not skip out on!!

You sure can, definitely agree with that and that’s what I try to do as well. But the marketing material from the saddle companies show people shooting from the 9 o’clock position all the time and that’s what I wanted to show. In my opinion, it’s easier to take that 11 o’clock shot from the ROS. Comfort wise, how low are you siting? That could be why it’s not comfy. Knee pads are a requirement too. Also agree on the setup. I feel it’s still worth it though. Having both is the way to go!

I’m trying to avoid having two straps

@baseballslamer24 you definitely have to ratchet them down hard, no way around it. Bullamn Outdoors has a video on how to do it quietly. I just go slow and do one click at a time. Really get it tight around the tree just like you would a platform when you cam lock it.

Left was platform, shooting at the 9 o’clock position. Right was ROS, shooting at the 11 o’clock position. The benefit of a saddle and ROS is exactly what you said, using the tree as cover!

So my followup question was going to be... have you ever hunted using both ROS and the platform? Well, I found your other video on that very subject. Thanks for the information and excellent videos. Good hunting! @@BarefootDave_

@@gasanchez84 thank you for the sub! I appreciate it. Can’t figure out how to message on here, but if you ever want to see something specific, hit me up on instagram and I’ll get a video around for you! If it’s a big tree, I’ll use both for sure. Especially when the deer might come from anywhere. If it’s a small tree and I know where they’ll be traveling, I’ll just use my platform and still shoot at the 11 o’clock position. I’m one sticking this year so I find it much easier to use just the platform. When I was using sticks plus a separate platform, it wasn’t much more work to use both.

Wow thank you so much! That means a lot, appreciate it!

Comment on my hunting journal so I know who you are. Always down to chat with like minded beasts!

With the platform below and steps on top (with one strap), you can go from standing to sitting without adjusting your tether. I typically hunt from the steps but will setup and tear down while standing on the platform. Not needing to adjust my tether makes it all a lot easier.

@@BarefootDave_ it’s really the two eyes from your strap that give your plateform real stability…it’s cutting a corner or step for convince rather than guaranteeing plateform stability from not being able to move out of anchored position…safety first

@@perryrusso3764 hmm I never thought of it that way. The ratchet strap over the platforms post makes it wayyy more secure than just the cam buckle. With the cam buckle, there is still some play until you really can lock it in. The ratchet straps is locked in and barely if any sets when you step on it. To me, it’s actually better than the cam buckle.

Glad you found it useful! Good luck this season

It really does make it a lot easier!

Thanks!

I appreciate that, thank you!

One of these days I'll get a real vehicle haha. My gumleafs just got in!! Ripped my boots last week actually

Thank you!!

Thanks Chris!
