Endless threads on this- especially at the saddle hunter forum and at.
That being said your setup dictates so much of it.
Personally I run a MR PU at times (with mini sticks, full length sticks, tree stand or saddle platform) but found myself using a cheap backpack with (taped) caribiners...
There are guys that make it about the gear and guys that make it about the deer. I’m the latter and appreciative of the saddle as a tool in my toolbox. Nothing is the be all end all. I also use a stand and sticks, ghillie suit, ground blinds, natural ground blinds and a borrowed camping chair...
Either 33 or 34. I mean they’re ridiculous- like a seamstress took 44s and just cut top and sewed it to the waist measurement. Just so aggravating knowing they’re some of the priciest brush pants out there. Can’t help but think to a certain degree they leave the legs and inseams and truly just...
DEC fans- wow; who wouldn’t thought?
Robbed- easy- there are 450k deer hunters in NY paying for licenses and the state does zero for deer or deer hunting. Their data is bunk (4-6000 surveys that Cornell sends out to random precious license holders) and attains data from deer car collision and...
I know of a few people that hunt municipal, state or similarly owned property and unless someone has call in ENCON, it is legally posted and there is someone to sign the statement it is posted- no one gets dinged with the exception of those urban properties. There have been some giants from...
Regions 8&9 here. I have zero faith in the DEC doing anything right or knowing anything about hunters/hunting. Read the new MP and a number of the propositions or planned enactments are unjustified and where they need improvements there is nothing. Until the culture here is changed and the...
Do they have the same off sized thigh portion or are they closer to what the waist size is ? Posed as my sawbucks make me feel like I’m wearing MC Hammer pants despite having big quads.
Doesn’t seem to be whitetail wear for me … despite having a whitetail specific designer their collection...
My current thought is there will be a solitude 2.0 soon- think there’s a delay or miss with just making the new one in specter - should be a wind barrier

If the question was for me; I expected them to catch up with everyone else having a wind barrier. The idea the only tweak was to add kit link zippers and the Nat Gear x FL offspring Specter camo was not impressive. Heck- they did it with the sanctuary; why not the solitude? Prices went up but...
So let down by the solitude not having improved weather stopping ability. Even moreso for clearing out all of my like new asat FL gear to start over with the new tech which appears solely to be a washed out version of their regular camo pattern.

Just your barstool whitetail expert here-
It’s about breaking up your human shape; not blending in. Staying still and downwind (and thermal) of their movements is where it all gets tricky
I have both and oodles of other camo. Not sure it matters and that’s coming from a guy that hunts high...
Mags on Gen 1 suck. Junk and $45 to replace
Noisy (corduroy) actions. 7-8/10 for fit and finish
DIY trigger job is worth the effort
DIY sanding of any touching forward of the action is worth it.
Have 3- 204,6CR and 6.5cr. Would love a 300wm Go wild.
Have a bunch nicer guns. Not many that...
