fasteddie Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Every once in a while someone will mention having a tree saddle and loving it . The saddle looks to me like a swing seat and if anyone has ever sat in one of those for long , I would think your butt would go numb . I can only imagine what it would be like . I think I would stick with a chain-on , ladder stand or permanent stand .......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTF Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Not made for long sitting, but can be very handy in certain situations. Also you have to be good at climbing a tree like a monkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the last one petered out and started his "walk" I had two doe slip in behind me and dropped both of them. Tree saddles are AWSOME Nothing to leave in the woods and get stolen and i can set up any tree anywhere. I use 4-6 gorilla strap on steps to go up the tree (takes about 5 minutes after a little practice). I use screw in steps for the larger trees that a strap wont fit around. If you want to leave the steps in the woods you can take the bottom two and leave the top 2-4 steps because there 9-10" up. Your going to have to practice with it because its not like shooting from the ground or even a conventional platform stand (I am assuming you bow hunt). http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=1024581 This thread is from AT (sorry mods) it has just about every thing you could think of covered at some point tips, tricks and all sorts of useful advice.
