Hi all,
I am a saddle hunting newbie, and also dealing with a fear of heights. The saddle hunting method makes me feel the most comfortable, so I'm giving it a try this year.
I'm trying to decide between purchasing the Muddy Stagger Steps and the Rivers Edge Grip Sticks. These are in the price range I'm hoping to spend... I know these aren't the lightest option in the world, but I probably won't be hiking more than a couple miles in this year and want an option that feels natural and secure so I don't get too freaked out my first year. Do any of you have any experience with climbing sticks like these - especially with a linemans rope?
It says the need a tree that is at least 9 inches in diameter, which I think shouldn't be an issue, but any of your opinions are appreciated. I hunt in Utah, so a lot of aspens.
Thanks!
