[QUOTE="huntemup, post: 3694153, member: 35085"] Funny responses but rest assured this isn’t new nor some one off thing. Saddle hunting is driving much of the product evolution in the deer hunting world right now. It’s pretty much the safest way to hunt while elevated. The hardware is rated for mountain climbing and you’re always attached. Don’t imagine based on the responses I’ll convince many here but if any are interested there’s plenty of YouTube videos to learn more as well as saddle hunting forums. With this system I can go into the woods with about 6lbs of gear and climb any tree to any height regardless of lean, forks or branches. And bc I rappel down when the hunt is over I’m walking away from the tree about 4 minutes after I decide it’s time to go down. Not to mention while hunting I can cover 360 degrees-there are no shots I can’t take provided I have a lane. All while using the tree to shield me from approaching deer What got me into it a few years back was the portability/mobility. Bc you’re traveling light you are never limited to one spot. I was hunting a River bottom on black kettle 2 yrs ago and the winds shifted midday. Within 15 minutes I was out of my tree from 25ish ft up and settled into another location about 18ft up into a cottonwood a few hundred yards away and killed a decent public land 10 pointer 45 minutes later. You are rarely too old. Many on the saddle forums are in their 60s and just starting with saddle hunting. oh and yeah I can sleep pretty comfortably in my saddle [/QUOTE]
