One day i hope i can find me a good club that i can afford and if i cant hang me a loc on or..my personal favorite...a 20ft ladderstand...ill probly be back to totin my ol man...cause i just want have a need for my loc on an one stick method...but when you walk a true mile to 2 miles in somewhere just to kill a deer...im gettin a little tired of it...i walked a mile an a half yesterday to get to a spot with good wind an the chance at killin a nice buck...to me thats all a saddle is good for..a lightweight necessary item to replace the weight of an already light loc on.


I get where you’re coming from, but just because you’re on private land doesn’t mean you park the truck and walk a couple hundred yards to your ladder stand or shooting house and hunt. I enjoy throwing my stand/saddle on and going scouting. Friday afternoon, I walked probably 2 miles until I found the best sign to hunt. I’ve hunted this property for 10 years now and have some permanent stands in places where deer walk a lot, but those spots are not always the best place to be at that given time. I also have the little millenniums that I carry in hunt out of. I very rarely hunt out of a ladder stand or climber any more.
