I’ve been saddle hunting for about 6 years. The last couple years I’ve moved back to a light weight hang on for most of my hunting. I prefer packing in and setting up with a saddle. Thought I’d throw a post to get some help to tweak my setup and see if that helps.
Biggest issue is I move too much in the saddle and can’t really get super comfortable for a long time. I have a aerohunter flex and feel my tether length is ok for hip pinch.
I also find my feet get sore and I have to shift/distribute my weight a lot due to that.
late season is tough for getting picked off but my last couple sits in a saddle this month I feel like I’m getting burnt by does way more than in my hang on. I’ve been zip tying small Pine branches to my stand and next to my head. So I’ve been able to create some camo so not a true fair comparison. But I move way less in the stand. The saddle I’ve been cool when the tree is in front but when they eventually get to my side they seem to be picking me off fast.
I’m more of a leaner. Any tips I’m missing for comfort? Especially foot pressure. Should I consider a different saddle? Im tall and have a long inseam not sure if body type translates to comfort but I just can’t figure out why some people are so comfortable and I’m struggling to stay still for more than 5 min.
