I have the single pin HHA and like it a lot. Mine has the .010 pin and I like that size. No problems with it regarding brightness, visibility or low-light conditions. But everybody’s eyes are different...

I will respectfully disagree with Doc. Thermals should play a role. Hunt the leeward side of the ridge towards the predominant wind high on the ridge mornings. Thermals should carry your scent high over the valley area. Essentially you are blowing high over the Deer. Might hit top of downwind ridge but I would bet Deer will travel the ridge you hunt and perhaps valley and those should be safe scent zones. You hunt low in the valley and you will get wind swirling making it very tough. Mornings high on the upwind ridge would be my guess. You will know the scent movement by checking with milkweed on your first sit. Good luck!
if hunting evenings here, not what I would suggest, low on the downwind ridge would likely be better.

You've already seen that the winds swirl down in the valley. Proof positive that moog has the right approach - stay high. -
What is the prevailing wind direction on that diagram when you plan to hunt it? Also, where is your stand location on the diagram?

First snow of the year is the best! The deer seem to get all giddy and run around! Plus you can often sneak around and hunt on the ground - I learn a lot about an area doing that. Love being in the woods for the first snow.
Good luck all. Should be a great day.

Who hunts out of a saddle?
in Deer Hunting
Posted
This is my 12th season of saddle hunting. Currently using an Aero Hunter Kestrel or one of the 2 DIY saddles I made. I love to tinker and DIY where I can and have tried a ton of different saddle options, platforms and climbing methods.
For those that don’t know, the forums on saddlehunter.com are very active with good discussion on options, tips and tricks and safety. One thing is certain, there’s no one perfect system as everyone has different preferences.
