So I am interested in the concept of saddle hunting. I like the idea that I can have numerous tress prepped but all I need to hunt is a set of Lone Wolf Climbing sticks and my saddle. It seems like a very mobile concept without the cost of having to purchase numerous hang on tree stands.
Saddle hunting seems to work very well with vertical bows as you can keep the tree between you and the line of sight of the deer and then swing out when it's time to take a shot.
I am not sure if this works with a crossbow as you are so close to the trunk and I am worried the tree tether will always be in the way.
If anybody has tried and has experience saddle hunting with a crossbow your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Saddle Hunting
I have dabbled a bit. I have only climbed about 6’ and tried a few methods, I’m not in very good health with severe heart issues so I’m trying to find the easiest way. You will want something for your feet to keep your mobility, I have a small one from out on a limb, and it allows you a lot of positions and easy maneuvering. Using sticks is not an option for me, so I’m using a foot climber from Tree Lounge. With it I could ditch the small platform. I’m still perfecting my methods, but I think you would do well with a matrix or micro model using the saddle.
It’s not the way you rock, it’s the way that you roll!
