I'm interested in this but I want to make sure I invest in a system that: (1) doesn't cause serious damage to any trees I climb; (2) is legal and aligned with all BC regs. I already have a few options lined up from the US saddle hunter forums but I want to make sure they are okay to use in BC.
I already searched in the 2020 BC hunting regs but couldn't find anything. Can someone with some experience help me with this?
Re: Saddle Hunting and Tree Climbing Regs - Public/Crown Lands
tons of strap on climbing sticks, steps, stands & ladders now available which won't damage the tree. saddlehunter forum which you mentioned is pretty much the top resource on the subject. saddles are very efficient & we use them in early season but switch to hang on stands when it gets really cold. both great ways to hunt if you're patient!
