Hi-I'm from the metro Detroit area...Plymouth. I've been going back and forth for the past couple years about pulling the trigger on getting into saddle hunting. I pulled it last night! Ordered the Mantis kit, the Ropeman 1 Ascender, the back band, and a set of 8 Wild Edge Steps... I know there are definitely some other things I should be ordering ASAP...I'm still kinda in the dark about all the terms and techniques...but I at least wanted to get the saddle ordered due to the long wait. I used to hunt private...but had pretty limited success...and I'm hoping to utilize the saddle technique to get me out in public...as mobile and remote as I can get. I plan on asking a lot of questions! Thanks in advance.
 
Welcome from bama!!! I'm also new to saddle hunting and went with the mantis. This forum is addicting and I can't stay off of it. Anyways goodluck this upcoming season.
 
Currently sitting in my desk at work Plymouth! Goodluck and have fun getting into saddle hunting. I drive about an hour from here to the public land I hunt

Small world...you probably hunt one of the areas I am eyeballing. At some point, I want to head up north to the upper lower or the UP for some extreme remoteness and swamps.
 
I grew up in Canton, now living in Adrian, working in ... Livonia (oof). But seriously, if you have the private land option around here, keep it - and take me with you. Our public is tough.

PS: Welcome!

Welcome from Wisconsin. I lived in your area for 3 years back in the early 90’s. Watched some nice bucks with the camera up by Auburn Hills but never hunted while I was there. Good luck this season.
