Black Mantis Prototype

[Jonny]

Looks awesome, but personally I like the color scheme of the current mantis.

Again, looks awesome, but I would need a wow factor color/camo scheme to justify buying a second saddle.

Looks cool but hate anything black when hunting. feel like it stands out so much. Don't know why any hunting companies make anything in black.

This is the ground blind version. Wait....

If a deer gets close enough to look at my arse while I am hanging in a tree, he will have bigger problems then whether or not black stands out to him..... just sayin.

Those black straps would be the last thing he saw.....

Exactly - that or a bright yellow blur streaking towards him.........

Yeah. I guess it depends on where you are but hunting season for me means very leaves on trees. If I'm up 15ft in the air and a deer is looking up I suspect he's go I g to see the tree as really dark and the sky as very light. If I understand correctly deer do not have the same dynamic range as us.

Climbing sticks and ground hunting are a different matter.

And x2 on if the deer can see the black and pick apart me against the trees in camo. Either I screwed up or he did.

It looks sick at +!+$, but I probably wouldn't buy it.

Im down for black for all the reasons @DaveT1963 previously stated. Color choice really should based on vision of your prey. However color is not nearly as important as uv radiance of those colors. So @ckossuth if you sell one im down for it as well!!

I think red should ban the word secret on this site!

I like the black - I also get yelled at when I mix and match black and brown accessories by the girlfriend...but i'm a fan of black/coyote...

You could wear a pink saddle and if the deer is close enough for it to somehow give you away, he should be toast anyway.

Glow in the dark lineman's loops might be cool, is that a thing?

 

[Drslyr]

I B Skeered to wear dat. Somebody mistake me for a bear.......Boom......

 

[swampsnyper]

Black kryptek!!!! Would look cool but I wouldn’t want to hunt with it. I don’t like black straps. I know it doesn’t matter to the deer but it just erks me.

I'm pretty sure I saw a video or pic last year, maybe on AT, where a guy killed a deer while wearing a pink bunny suit. I like the black, looks good.

I'd like the black with coyote brown.

 

[rambotogo]

Black is beautiful

I like the black. It could be marketed for a night time pig hunting saddle!
