Passed on him.. How old?

[Kevin]

Passed on this guy Tuesday evening. He is # 4 or 5 on my list. I would really like the kids or my wife to get a shot at him. He's been pretty regular.

 

[cbhunter]

3.5

 

[JCDEERMAN]

Good pass. Agreed on 3.5

 

[BSK]

Not out of the question he's a top-end 2 1/2, but I lean towards 3 1/2.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Looks like a 3.5 to me.

 

[Ski]

I agree with 3.5.

 

[megalomaniac]

yup, 3.5

 

[knightrider]

I would guess 3 as well, but good lord man how high are you in that tree

 

[Volbuck777]

3.5 good job on trigger restraint

 

[Savage]

That's a hard deer to pass, but I would have tried.

Probably only about 25 foot. I started one sticking this year. When I reach up as high as I can reach its just over 8 foot. So my platform is almost 9 foot on my first climb up. I usually only do 1 more move which puts me about 16 or 18, but i did an extra move on that hunt, so I was probably at least 25. Maybe 26 27.

Never felt as comfortable in a lock on or a climber as I do in a saddle.

3.5 and side eyeing the camera. Good pass, he may be a tough one to kill the next couple years.

Nice video, he looks 3.5. 25+ feet up with a bow can lead to some steep angles with arrow/bolt.

How far up above your head do you cinch your tether to the tree? I usually put mine around top of my head height but I saw a guy on youtube the other day putting his about 3 or 4 ft above his head and said that is was a lot more comfortable especially if you are a sitter with knees in the tree.

 

[Kevin]

I usually have mine about eyeball height. The higher up I put it, the more pressure it seems to put on the bottom of the saddle. Im more of a leaner than a sitter.

The biggest thing for long term comfort for me is finding a tree that leans slightly away from you. If its leaning toward you, your whole day is gonna be hanging away from the tree. I do a fair amount of just standing on the platform, and thats impossible if the tree is leaning toward you.

I say he's just a kid, 2.5 years old. Sleek race car body, small neck, shoulders and launches about the same size.
