There's something to be said for a shooting house that you can park 100 yards away from on a cold, windy day when you've got a sore throat and cabin fever.If I had access to private there’s always a natural funnel somewhere that deserves a permanent stand as part of the rotation. If for nothing else but for when the weather sucks. On public, not a chance. I’m not going to make it easy for someone else to hunt the place I want to hunt. And since I only hunt public now….
We shall agree to disagree sirThose who ONLY hunt out of a saddle are missing out. So many advantages to a treestand in so many areas.
The “my saddle can go anywhere” thing is a myth. My .5 is much more versatile than my saddle set up and as such gets used probably ten times what my saddle platform gets used.

Right now I have a good looking set where deer will be coming from the west and heading north of a tree… if you think about the orientation of a right handed shooter on the back side (east side) of the tree, a stand is starting to feel like it might make more sense here, unless I want to plan for an awkward lotta movement saddle position to shoot. So that’s one example.Those who ONLY hunt out of a saddle are missing out. So many advantages to a treestand in so many areas.
