Been eyeballing this whole saddle hunting thing for a couple of years now. Finally, after a lot of research and finding this forum, I broke down and ordered a Mantis, some WE steps, and a knaider/swaider. Hopefully I can get it all in and together before our season opens up in Oct. I hunt a good bit of public land and the thought of having such a lightweight climbing setup really gets me amped up. I can't wait to get it all in and try it out and I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can here at SaddleHunter.
