[QUOTE="Shanman, post: 5197014, member: 4101"] Like anything else it takes practice and figuring out a system that works for you. Last season was my first using a saddle, I'm 6'4" and around 265, had hip replaced in July and was in the saddle hunting opening morning. Another advantage is not having to hang and take down lock-ons, ladders, and caring in a climber every morning. If you like a spot but the wind isn't right then you just climb a different tree and adjust, but you can still hunt there. Main problem I see with saddle hunting is the fact that there are so many options and companies to go with, it's kind of confusing, but with research and some thought you will be fine. I'm personally done with stands, the ladder stands I have out are just that to me, a ladder. I use a few sticks and go higher, have watched to many deer walk by a ladder stand and look up at them. For those of you trying them for the first time, play around with them and find out what fits you comfortably. [/QUOTE]
