Hey all! I’ve had my eye on saddle hunting since last year. I love my summit climber but I find that sometimes I have a hard time finding the perfect tree and it’s also heavy and cumbersome for long public land walks. Also, we have pretty temperate weather here most of hunting season so anything I can do to lighten my load is a plus. Finally pulled the trigger on a mantis yesterday. I’m still debating on what type of platform I’ll use. Right now I’m thinking something similar to the ring of steps. I’ll be using lone wolf sticks and will be looking into a diy aider. Looking forward to trying it out and got my fingers crossed that the shipping times are closer to 4-6 weeks like I’ve been reading.
