The Bowhunter Chronicles Podcast - Episode 305 - I Fell From My Saddle - Why You Should Always Check Your Gear - Chris Coon On this episode of the Bowhunter Chronicles podcast Adam sits down with good friend Chris Coon to discuss safety while hunting from a saddle and one sticking. We have all had mistakes while hunting and all had close calls but rarely do we hear about people making mistakes. Mistakes are usually made in silence or we only hear about them when only when something bad happens. Luckily for Chris the fall wasn't terrible and he was able to walk away relatively unscathed but with some lessons to be learned.   Hunting Style Normal hunting safety precautions How he learned to saddle hunt Where do we get our information The fall What happened Why did it happen Why are none of the major saddle companies all in on one sticking?
