Having seen the saddle that’s for sale in the Classifieds, I looked up how to use a saddle on YouTube. Now I’ll admit that I’ve never climbed with a saddle, much less hunted out of one. I currently have seven Summit climbers - Vipers and Goliaths. IMHO, they can’t be beat. Six of the seven stay in a tree (private club) throughout the hunting season, so all I’ve got to do is walk in and climb. Regardless of all that, I know what I’ve got with my climbers, so I’ll gladly tote in stand #7 to a new location.

Bottom line: To each his own. Saddle hunters, go forth and slay giant bucks! And I’ll tip my hat to you EVERY time you do that! But for me, I’ll stick with my Lay-Z-Boy Summits.


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.
