The older I get the more I tend to get bored while waiting for deer in a typical pre-set tree stand situation. It is one of the reasons I got into saddle hunting because the process of hunting is more fun for me and is much more rewarding than just climbing a ladder stand or going in a shooting house or whatever. I'm not knocking that style of hunting at all but for me personally, it got to be super boring and it sucked the fun out of hunting to me. This is true more so during the gun season for me than bow season but it even during bow season, going to the same stands and locations after awhile is just boring. Same for turkeys. Running and gunning for gobblers has its place but after awhile, it loses its flair. I know I'm rambling but my point is, you can really change up your day with this seat. Its so light and easy to carry in, I even brought it in with me, put it at the base of my tree for a saddle preset and then at mid day, got down, stowed my saddle in my pack and went still hunting, stalking with the pac seat. If the wind changed and I didn't want to deal with getting down, and then moving to another pre-set location, I just hunted out of the pac seat after moving into a more favorable wind. This also has utility if your'e a predator hunter too. This thing rocks for turkey and predator hunting too. Multiuse tool for sure folks!!
