Saddle hunting has grown from a mid-1900s niche concept into one of the fastest-growing segments in hunting. Rooted in early DIY ingenuity and commercially introduced by the Green family's Trophyline Tree Saddle in 1961, it spent decades in the shadows before the internet and social media gave it new life. Today, brands like Tethrd and Trophyline are innovating rapidly, sales are nearly doubling year over year, and a passionate, tight-knit community of hardcore hunters has formed around it — one that Spotted Dog Sporting Goods is proud to be a part of.
