[QUOTE="themanpcl, post: 5450146, member: 12032"] I didn't understand it until I tried it. Hooked now. Disclaimer, for gun only hunters, it probably is not as difficult to get "in range" as it when bow hunting. Doesn't matter to me what method, I want to get close. Saddle gives me so much more versatility as to where I can hunt. Best thing for me is that if I get to the spot I want to hunt, I just pick where I want to shoot and climb, not what tree looks like I can get a climber in and is close. I will say it is not for everyone. If you are bigger, it is tougher than running a climber. If you are weaker, probably won't be your thing. If you have a balance issue, don't try it. You will get hurt or drop your weapon trying to get a shot. I know a lot of people talk about the weight issue with saddle vs climber. I rarely hike over a mile so weight was never an issue. If you hike 3 miles, it might be an issue for you. The main thing I found, it is just fun to hang off the side of a tree and try to figure out what kind of a shot I'll be presented with if any. if you know anyone who has a saddle and sticks, give it a try after season just to experience the challenge.
