Step 1: Buy a Tethrd Mantis without ever sitting, much less touching, a tree saddle.
Step 2: Join SaddleHunter.com
I told myself this is kind of like owning a firearm; if you own a gun, join the NRA. So, if I own (ordered at this point) a saddle, join Saddle Hunter. I think I read one "sticky" post on this entire forum, but watched countless YouTube videos about saddles. G2 Outdoors kept popping up in my suggested videos feed.
Although I had seen this interesting technique for hunting a few years back in a magazine, I really didn't give it much thought. I didn't dislike it. I simply thought it wasn't for me. Fast forward to this August and I read an article in the July 2019 issue of BowHunter magazine entitled "Saddling Up for Success". That was it for me. I didn't care what the learning curve was, but I was no longer going to lug heavy stands into public land or fret about leaving a temporary stand hoping thieves didn't make off with it.
So I've landed on the shore and set fire to the ship. There's no turning back! I have to become a saddle hunter and I'm sure these forums will help me! I look forward to the information shared in this community. Thanks for having me!
