From the Saddle is Tethrd’s home for saddle hunting stories, hard-earned lessons, proven tips, and honest insight from our crew and hunters who live this stuff every season.

It’s a place to learn, laugh, swap ideas, and get better. From first sits and blown opportunities to dialed systems and memorable hunts that remind us why we keep going back to the woods.

This isn’t some polished, untouchable corner of the internet. It’s for the guy still figuring out his platform height, the hunter who finally cracked the code on a public-land buck, and the crew that just wants to tell the truth about what worked, what didn’t, and what they learned along the way. So pull up a seat. Read a while. Leave a comment. Share your story. We’re all learning from the saddle.
