A year into the saddle craze or brand new never heard it? Stini gear gives us the low down to buy one of his saddles. In all my years of hunting thus far, this saddle is like sitting in my lazy boy recliner. Thanks to my buddy Bryce for showing me this thing.

How fitting is this "rut" if you can even call it that based on everything that has happened the past 2 years with the world..I mean none of my journals line up with what is going on. Some of the slowest "rut" activity I have ever seen for my area. On a positive note I got a new dog with high hopes of having him in the woods, so that's cool at least.
Best of luck to those still battling !
