What is saddle hunting?

Saddle hunting is the method of deer hunting from an elevated position using a tree hunting saddle. A hunting saddle, lineman’s belt, or rock climbing harness is used to clip to a secure anchor when you reach your desired height on the tree, or you run out of climbing sticks! Saddle hunting has been around for over 30 years and is now making its way into the mainstream hunting culture. It has many benefits over your traditional tree stand options and has helped mobile hunters fill tags season after season.

Benefits gained from saddle hunting.

There are multiple benefits to saddle hunting.

Lightweight Tree Saddles: Tree Saddles are lightweight, making you more mobile. Perfect for the Public Land Hunter!

Little to no noise: With tree saddle, you don’t get the noise typically associated with pulling up tree stands.

Hunters Safety: While there have been lots of hunters who have fallen from conventional tree stands, when saddle hunting you are tethered to the tree from the moment you leave the ground until you step back on it after the hunt, making it almost impossible to fall. Remember, always stay tethered!

Minimal Impact: It’s about as ethical as it gets. Leave No Trace!
