Have you ever wanted to hunt out of a saddle? Do you even know what a hunting saddle is? Join Rick and Dex in this episode, as they chat with owner of Wood Hunting Saddles, Robert Wood. Robert is a seasoned saddle hunter from SG+T hometown of Jacksonville, and his new hunting saddles are taking the industry by storm. In this episode, Robert shares his thoughts on why he prefers saddles over other methods, what sets Wood Saddles apart from his competitors, and a number of other topics, including Rick almost sinking his boat!

SG+T loves supporting local businesses, especially those with honest, hard working people and solid products. Wood Hunting Saddles fits that description perfectly. Rick has been wearing a Wood Saddle since last season and has unofficially named it the official saddle of SG+T!

Loaded with great information and a lot of fun, this is a great conversation you won't want to miss.
