I’ve got the Hawk sticks cause we’re on sale when starting picking up things for the saddle set up. The buttons are trash, ended up taking a shovel to pry em apart broke all the buttons. The sticks with alders I think work fine for a multiple stick set up. I haven’t got to the single stick setup yet. Just ordered some aftermarket one that I hope solves that. Just used a ratchet strap no issues. I have a set of hawk sticks.I ditched the factory straps and replaced them with versa buttons and some 9mm climbing rope, huge improvement and you don’t have metal clanking.

I ditched the straps for the sticks and platform, for the versa straps from Tethrd. Use one of the stick straps and zig zag them and pull tight are super snug. I have a old Primos bow sling I’m going to see about figuring out a way to use it as a stick carrier

Yep, you can get behind the tree plus climb super limby trees to get into better cover than I ever could with my tree stands AND... when you're in a tree with lots of limbs, you don't have to climb as high!!! I just shake my head and smile when I hear guys make fun of me for Saddle Hunting. I've killed more deer the last two years with my bow Saddle Hunting. I'll NEVER go back to climbers and lock-ons... well, lock-ons are a pain to set up but with a Saddle, I can go in quiet and rappel down when I'm done and I don't have to worry about lock-on's over the summer and straps, becoming weak and squirrels chewing on straps, etc...

Been saddle hunting for a few years but question for you guys. How are y'all navigating multiple limbs? Do you have two lineman's belts or some other way to always be connected? I carry a spare linemans rope in my saddle pouch just for getting over limbs.
