Mantis, with a wild edge perch, I have wild edge steps and hawk helium sticks. My brother has a Heath Hart saddle and aero hunter flex, out on a limb ridge runner and hawk helium sticks. Brother in law has a mantis with the predator platform and hawk helium sticks.

Cool. How is that Heath Heart Saddle? Heard some pros and cons about it. No leg loop correct? I think it is the one kinda sitdragish? I would like to check it out.

Saddle hunting intrigues me. That being said, with 2 knee surgeries, and being on the husky side, I don't know if we're a good match. Not willing to drop the coin for a Tethrd setup.

I wish I was closer. They maybe someone near you that would let you try it out. I know there is a Saddle get together in Seymour in August 31st. If interested I could get you more information?

The Heath Heart saddle is actually pretty nice, I am impressed with it. No leg loops but still very safe and comfortable, and you could always add them if you want to.

Yep, there are many dedicated saddle hunting channels on Youtube. It should be fun, we are not the greatest hunters but have a lot of fun doing it. lol

I would like to start my own You Tube channel myself.

What type of horse is good for hunting this way?

one that won't spook when you shoot and preferably not a buckskin!

Ill be rocking the saddle again this year. I knew when i tried it in 2017 i had to have one. The saddle played a good role in my 2018 buck.

2nd season for me. Hunted last year in a fleece and RC harness with a lone wolf hand climber. I have a Mantis this year. I love it with my entire setup being about 7 pounds or so. I have some wild edge steps with a 5 step aided but I like the hand climber better. Where is this get together in Seymour? More details please!

Looking forward to your videos this year man.

I'm too out of shape and have some issues with arthritis that will forever keep me out of a saddle, but for your style of hunting it should be the perfect match.

I'm strongly considering ordering a saddle if I can free up some funds. I tried out the Tethrd stuff at a demo they put on recently near Ft. Knox and liked it pretty well.

I went with Tethrd as well, it was less bulky for me and was pretty comfortable. My brother went with the Aero Flex. If you ever want to sit in any of them give me a shout. We have a lot of the platforms as well so you could try before you buy.

Good afternoon boys!!! Nothing like sitting in your saddle on those crisp fall Tennessee days!!! I'll be hunting out of Tethrd's awesome saddle this deer season. As far as climbing method.....I'm using many. My favorite is spurs but obviously they are not legal on public. Since I hunt mainly public lands that limits me to other options. I will be trying cranford rope steps with a moveable aider, the tried and true climbing sticks with a moveable aider, and lastly bolts. My platform is the kickarse Tethrd Predator.
Now I may be a little biased since I am on the Tethrd staff but geezzzzz they have killer products for saddle hunters. I'm in the middle TN area. If anyone ever wants to try out any of my saddle gear give me a shout.

Good luck this season fellas!! Be sure to post those saddle kills in this thread!!!
