New from Montana

Welcome from Michigan! I've been to Montana but haven't hunted there yet - only Wyoming. Hit me up if you still have some questions and I'll give you my phone number to chat.

First off, welcome aboard! I would think a saddle is an awesome application for Montana. When I lug a stand all over the place, I feel somewhat obligated to it. When I wear my saddle, I don't feel that obligation if a ground situation presents me a better option. Just my $.02 ...and I could be biased!

Hey all. Im from Montana born and raised and will probably always be here lol. A quick history.... ive been a rifle hunter since legal age and bow hunted for the first season last year. Here in Montana were now well into our season for the year and the more i bow hunt the more i realize that even though some people may have what it takes, i do not have the stealthyness to spot and stock whitetail to sub 60yds in which im comfortable to shoot. Learning this over the last 2 seasons and finding a random old stand in the mountains i sat for an afternoon and fell in love (thats probably a big no, no but i left it as i found it) has eventually brought me here after looking at tree stands of all kinds. I heard that saddle hunting is just not for some people and before I make the jump im wondering if i might be making a mistake jumping straight to a saddle? I spend 60% of my time in a harness for work building 30ft comercial concrete foundations and im definitely not scared of heights or bothered in any way by a harness. Im also hoping for some un biased opinions on the +/- of an areo hunter vs. Tethrd saddle? Im also wondering if one would fit my body type better being 5'10 155lbs im not the bigges framed guy? All guidance and opinions are highly appreciated. Thank you for your time in advance! Also if there is anyone around Missoula, Montana that uses a saddle that may be willing to show me the ropes or maybe looking for a hunting partner occasionally send me a pm.
