I’ve have been lurking on here for awhile taking in a ton a great information. I primarily hunt on New Jersey public land and have been using a mobile run and gun technique for years. The last several I have been using a lone wolf stand and sticks but the bulk and weight especially when hunting areas that require a long walk and a kayak has been a pain in the butt. I am leaning towards the new mantis for its lightweight and minimal bulk. For climbing I already have my lone wolf sticks with rope mods but I believe the real benifit of saddle hunting is a true lightweight minimalistic approach. That is where I believe the wild edge steps come into play. I know spurs seem great but I also hunt out of state. Several questions.
1. I plan on using the Cain method. I am 6’2”. Would you go with a set of 10 for climbing and platform? I normally hunt 20’+-
2. Can you use the Cain method on a tree that you have to start climbing on one side of the tree but kind of snake around the tree where you want to end up? If that makes sense.
3. What about trees with vines on them. Does that make it hard to use the steps?
4. Where do you guys clip in using the Cain method with your saddles?
5. I’m 6’2” 225 lbs and in decent shape from working out. What size Mantis saddle?
Thanks for bearing with me. I will prob have tons more questions.
