Today is October 11th. We are almost a month into archery season here in Missouri and it has been a blast. We have had some good weather so far and the deer hunting has been pretty good. We are all very excited for the pre-rut stage to get here and spend some hours in the stand. This piece of writing is about mobile hunting. This is something I have taken more seriously this year than before. Last season I was able to dabble in the mobile hunting game a bit, but not like I have this year. Mobile hunting has become a trend the past couple years. I have learned that it is a very fun and successful method of hunting. But, it’s not for everyone.
I have been loving the mobile hunting game. I have been able to hunt a ton of different areas and many trees that I would’ve never been able to get into with a normal hang-on or climber. It really has boosted my confidence in going into a new area and feeling like I am putting myself in the best situations be in the game. Cruzr saddles is what I have been using this year. Specifically the Cruzr Archon. It is a two panel saddle that has endless adjustments to give you comfort for long sits. The way they have designed their ropes and the positioning on the saddle is as good as it gets I believe. Cruzr also makes a new saddle hunting backpack, and oh man… That thing is amazing. The structure of it is perfect for all your accessories and platform and sticks. The pocket locations are perfect. So far I haven’t found anything that I would change on the pack. The comfort level is top notch. It has a frame style back support that makes those long walks to the spot a breeze on your back. Cruzr is also coming out with some climbing sticks soon. All of their products so far are top notch and I would recommend them to anyone who is seriously considering the mobile hunting game.
Mobile hunting can be tough. It often includes long hikes, weird trees, and lots of upper body strength. Every time you go out you have to hang a “stand” per say. You get into a groove, and once you find your method then it gets a lot easier and faster. I have learned that the smaller the tree the better (to an extent) and you do not have to hunt that high. These are opposite ideas of the classic treestand hunting approach. Being able to go into any location and set up in almost any tree is what I love the most about the saddle. I have everything I need in my Cruzr pack to have a successful hunt. I am very excited to continue using and learning new methods and techniques for the remainder of the season. Hopefully I can soon connect with a deer using the saddle. Stay safe out there and shoot straight!
