Access to great spots is increased exponentially because you aren't carrying 40lbs of gear in trying to scout and also set up. This gives you the confidence to try new areas too which takes pressure off your other areas and also increases the probability of seeing and potentially harvesting more deer. If the wind changes, you're more likely to change up as it doesn't take as long to break down and therefore you still have energy to stay in the hunt. These factors alone, in my opinion, make saddle hunting extremely effective!!!! The only thing better would be a rock solid ground game but the odds tip way back in the favor of the deer due to their extreme senses and our dulled ones.
