"Saddle hunters go in light and come out heavy"
Joe and Scott are whitetail bow hunting fanatics.
We've both been chasing whitetails with our bows here in New York for 40 years. We've learned that being mobile and the first time in a virgin set is one of the best ways to out fox mature bucks. Saddle hunting helps us hunt a new spot every sit.
Scott's a 30 veteran arborist tree climbing professional. There's no substitute for experience , and we enjoy to continually learn and share what we've learned with others who share our passion. We believe the only limit to getting into the best position to kill a buck from a tree, is the tree and our imagination.
We hope our page helps others benefit from what we do , our experience , and our conversations on the Subject of Deer hunting, saddle hunting , climbing etc.
We will continue to try to bring interesting tips and content to the hunting public.
Feel free to ask questions and comment.
Best of luck !!!!

We're excited to now carry the 40 foot Halfline rope in a 9.5 mm option! If you already have or would rather climb with a Mad Rock Safeguard or Petzel Grigri, this rope is for you. Both are great devices for SRT or RADs. You no longer need 75 feet of rope; with the Halfline attachment points, use your preset paracord loops as an extension of your rope.

Could you guys do a video on how to SRT climb off of the false crotch? Not sure what knot to use and not have it get bound up in the carabiner.
@@logansmith3541 sure we can ! I’ll show you another way as well .
Tie 2 blakes hitches , 1 self tending... Check out Perry Fraze outdoors RUclips channel for video: simple drt climbing with only a rope ! Minimalistic at best !
How can you set up a rope so u can do both drt & srt
I'm a fellow upstater. Great video. You guys came a long way. I've been saddle hunting for yrs over 9. Your the only guy that show a legit Blake's hitch technique. I use to be an arborist back in the 80s this is a slick set up. Happy and safe hunting everyone.,
Why cant you wrap rope around foot like loop and stand up and hold rope at main linecwirh 2 hands
@@Crayz919 you can if that’s your game
@@NYSaddleHunter I've got shoulder injury and I was wondering if I used a quality light weight 6ft--26ft extension pole to set my rope over a crotch or hitch climbing with your safety line climbing rope / tether / half line rope system is set around trunk of tree or over crotch with extension pole ?
Why cant u use foot stirrup in this system and couldn't you just use the hitches without the mechanical gizmos ?
Can't u use foot stirrup as footloop when using halfline system ?
You cant disconnect foot loop and descend down by working prusik
Could you use a 30ft muddy , summit , millennial , hawk ,etc. safety climbing rope that comes with 2 prusik cords to climb ascend & descend if you are only wanting to try out rope climbing to see how you like it !
@@Crayz919 it wouldn’t even come close to how smooth and easy it is to climb on the Half-line system. There’s a reason why I say it’s changing lives one climb at a time. !
A 20ft telescoping pole would be ideal here. U could set your rope over the crotch of any limb 25 ft up and you can attatch a saw blade for limb trimming etc. 5ft pole extends to 20 plus your reach and you can use as walking pole , saw , shooting stick , remove spiderwebs etc.
U can wrap rope under your foot and hold it with two hands at the ripe system and use it as a makeshift foot loop
Will you be at Huntsock in Massachusetts?
@@79jeep79 not this yr. Definitely next yr
Woooooo let’s goooooo.
thanks brother great tips
What I don’t like about this is that while rappelling you’re no longer using your hand as a brake since you’re tending the Knut the whole way down. Maybe I’m just missing something though.
@@ryansullivan312 your not ! It’s something different to get used to for sure. There is a technique ( hand position) you can use where you can manipulate both hitch cord and mechanical simultaneously and use other hand on tail end like your used to doing. Takes a little practicing but it can be done. I’ll do a short video on that subject
Can that backup on the mechanical be released easily while under load? Would it work ok with a madrock? I already have one
@@markmurrell1894 yes it will work with Madrock or Gri Gri + The Vergo is much smoother. It will break under a load just not extreme load. But it easily broken by adding the CT Quickroll on and with one ascent the Vergo or in your case Madrock will easily tend it up so you can resume descent. With practice you can manage both rope and mechanical hitch simultaneously. And even keep off hand on rope lower for added friction if you so choose .
@@NYSaddleHunterjust placed my order for the hand ascender, foot loop, and cord. Thank you for your help!
@@markmurrell1894 Yes it will work with a Madrock. There’s a way to manage both systems with one hand on the Vergo . It might also work with a Madrock where you can depress the brake while tending the hitch cord simultaneously. It takes a little practice but doable . If you drop hard into the hitch cord it can be tough to release. All you would have to do is reattach the CT Quick roll and pump back up a few inches so your Madrock will tend the hitch cord and it will release again
@@markmurrell1894 Your Welcome 👍. Thanks for your business !!!
Just blew 1400 on sitka gear. Lol hoping the pants fit properly for my short wide ass.
@@twistnshout3031 the saying is buy once cry once ! I’m on my 8th season with my Fanatics . Thinking about selling them for some new ones. After all these years I can honestly say they’re worth every penny . I’ve sat in all kinds of weather one was -5 wind chill .
@NYSaddleHunter yea I'm sick of the cabelas real tree or walmart stuff I have, bulky and not warm enough at all. Usually stuck in 10 to 25degrees freezing my nuts off
@@twistnshout3031 same used to think cabelas was the shit back in the day . Doesn’t come close . I believe they do military discounts. If you are or know someone
@NYSaddleHunter yea almost everyone is a vet or cop. I'm the only lineman in the group. Lol cabelas is still the shit. That place is amazing. But not when you get too old for the cold. Lol so excited for the season already and we still have a few months left...
What loop knot are y’all using on the end of the half line setup?
Wish i could be there :/ too far. Mass? Hope to see you there.
@@BulldoggBella I won’t be in Mass this yr . Might be doing one out in Cattaraugus in August. Not sure yet
Beyond awful then noticed your channel. Sorry I gave you a view
great vid, very helpful
I hunted all last year with this saddle and it's the most comfortable saddle I've had.
@@Rooster_king haven’t met one person yet curse it. Notice on the forums you don’t see CGM Cobra’s for resale
This is great! It puts the last piece of the puzzle in place! I’ve been working on this very same technique and you guys, NY Saddle Hunters have put it all in place. Thank you.
Bro! I've agonized over ways to render the lineman belt fool proof. I refuse to climb with only it, which makes for slow ascension, but safe ascension. You have answered my prayers. Thank you for this excellent info.
Practicing mine this summer, getting ready
@@wasntmetoo583 👍👍👍
That’s awesome, Scott! I wish I could make it but I have a wedding that weekend to attend!😩
Love this system! Since switching over to this I have been hammering out presets and climbing trees like I never have before. I was very efficient with sticks but this has made me even more efficient and to be honest safer. Awesome video guys!
Thanks dude !👍
Wish I could. Bit of a drive from SE Florida. But thanks for all the very informative video content.😊
Love the system . Do you happen to have a video which shows how you Created the orange attachments on both ends of your climbing rope along with the fixed eye? for those of us that already have a climbing rope and want to modify it ?
Scott I'm from Michigan got my 40 ft. Of canyon elite from Eastern woods outdoors for one sticking. It has a small sewen eye at one end for just fitting a quick ling thru and a small loop at the other end for pulling gear up. My question is will I be able to thread my rope thru that quick link like you do your bigger loop ???
If you’re trying to use it like the half-line you’ll have trouble installing it. If you don’t hunt that high you can thread it by hand , then girth hitch it . Retrieval should be relatively easy.
That is a Left-Hand ascender and you are Right Handed correct? Thank you, love the channel!
Yes it is . I’m left handed. But you are right about the configuration. Typically Right handed people will use a left handed hand ascender. I’ll use either equally. It’s more about technique than dominant arm strength.
Dudethat's awsome. 😊
Can I trade in my f4 8mm system for the new one 🤣🤣
Since I’ve upgraded the system, I’m no longer using 8mm rope or F4 anymore. We can do something for you !

Awesome video. I just bought myself the bib and jacket. How is it holding up for you a few years later?
From a preset in place. Is it difficult to perform the half line girth hitch on thick barked, pine trees? does it have a problem feeding and sinching?? Also wondering your opinion on my buddy leaving his main climbing rope in the tree overnight to hunt the next morning. My worry for him is if a critter chews some of it in the night? Anyway are you for leaving it up for the morning hunt or against it? Might need to add he leaves it because he one sticks and never used presets
My opinion is that’s a slim chance for one night , but a risk nonetheless, would be very simple to leave a false crotch or a floating anchor tho
@@dylanhixenbaugh4575 didn’t think about that. But bro at that point just keep the preset up. Ya know ?
@@deerfishing1 well you said he doesn’t use presets , so I assumed he was one sticking a tree without a crotch or no crotch at his desired height
@@dylanhixenbaugh4575 sorry didn’t read my comment. But yea. I’m sure he does it to just save time from having to pick up his rope after each transfer. So I don’t feel like he’ll do anything special to get the rope in and out.
will this work with a jx3?
Yes it will 👍
Howdy, I've always loved your guys content and learned a lot from it. Couple safety questions: - Wouldn't it be ideal to be tethered into the ascender? As is, if your belay device + knut hitch fail you aren't connected to the ascender at all. - Is there a risk that, if something goes wrong, someone will "instinctively grab" the rope in front of them, and thus depress the knut hitch, and if the belay device was engaged for rappelling have quite a rapid fall? - Does that belay device not need the brake line to be held by a hand? To assist with that, some similar systems have like an autoblock hitch (or a progress capture device like a micro traxion) down by a leg loop to help hold the brake line in case the person's hand is not where it should be. Your system does seem quite safe, but these ideas come to my mind looking at it and hoping for another 1/2 or full point of redundancy.
Hey Stephen, I feel this system has just enough redundancy in it . Having said that this isn’t something you would buy and run out into the woods and hunt without having practiced and become efficient with . I don’t see where you could add additional redundancy without it hindering the smoothness of the ascent or descent . Could you depress both mechanical brake and hitch cord simultaneously to a rapid descent . Yes , but as I said 1) you need to understand each piece of the system and its use 2 ) you need to practice it to become comfortable with it. And honestly this take about 2 to 3 descents . This device pays out smoothly when activating the brake. Not an all or nothing like some other devices. If you were looking for something more I’d say look into a Gri Gri + it has a panic feature built into the brake in that if you pull to hard it will lock. I would also advise to use the hitch cord as well . Per manufacturer’s request that they are not a hands free device.
@@NYSaddleHunter Ok, yes it does seem to be very safe. Really seems like a great system, thank you for the very good points and info.
So if the limb I'm attached to is higher than the best hunting height, making the angle of the rope too steep I assume you would switch to your tether?
Yes and no. If your comfortable at that angle and feel your rope is not interfering with drawing your bow or shooting then your fine. Is the 45 degree angle even more comfortable , yes ! I would practice both ways so if your ever in that situation you can pull it off . When the rope angle is 90 degrees or less. I tend to keep it tight to my body , almost leaning into it . This way it never interferes with shooting . If I know I have to log long hrs before possible getting a shot Short tether at 45 degrees all day 👍
Can you talk about handedness in this setup? Is that a left handed ascender you're using? What is your dominant hand?
Sure ! It’s actually the opposite of what you’d think it would be. Your dominant hand is the one you tend slack with not the one on the handle of the hand ascender. All my right handed buddies use a left hand ascender . Yes I am left handed but it makes no difference for me I’m ambidextrous. With tree work I would cut left or right handed equally . The nice thing about the CT Hand ascender is that you can spin it 180 degrees and use it right or left handed. The best way to choose is you want the action facing you and the micro pulley away from you Whatever hand you have better dexterity in using your thumb to open and close the action is the side you should choose . Hope this helps.
This is a nice quality video. Excellent job guys! I'll be trying this method for sure.
Thankyou !
I started using the SRT system last year after finding a video of yours and I’ve never looked back! I will be adding the 8mm hitch cord this year. I don’t know if that’s new to the setup or if I just looked over it previously but this setup is money for us long walkers!
Yes new to the Half-line .
Great video. When using a Grigri recommended to always have a hand holding tension in rope below Grigri device or tie backup knots below Grigri. The Grigri does not always lock rope in itself if your weight is removed from Grigri (like if removing lanyard and returning to GriGri as support) unless you sufficient tension in the rope below the Grigri - ie not guaranteed to lock. The Rig or ID devices do lock rope and are more suited for hands free positioning without need for locking off with knot on device or below device.
From the Palmetto state…Great stuff boys! 🤙🏼 looking forward to losing my the sticks.
I use your hunter safety system with the F4, & after a season with it- can't see ever hunting without it. Thanks for all you do!
Your best, most professional presentation yet! I've been using your Trango half-line system pretty much since you introduced it. Light weight, safe, QUIET, compact, easy. While I've historically upgraded to each improvement in the half-line system, I'm convinced that you guys have come up with the optimal configuration. You can be proud of the impact you've had on the hunting community.
Thanks buddy appreciate that !
Scott it looks awesome I can’t wait to try it down here in Florida!👍
Great video. The "140in" though. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He’s got a 140 that went MIA 🤫
I have your mobile hunting system with the f4 device and I love it. Very interested in this, might upgrade this season.
I love climbing with the Half line climbing system. Thanks for all the great content
