My first season saddle hunting. Got a trophyline. It's comfortable and the options for trees are much better than with my climber. I'm still tweaking things but I like it so far. I'm using LW climber seat for platform and WE steps.
Welcome to saddle hunting. I’m in my 2nd year using an Aerohunter Kestryl & really enjoy the reduced weight & bulk versus my climbing tree stand. I hike in 30 mins to an hour & the saddle & lightweight climbing sticks are awesome for that. Also, I have much better shooting options with my 62” recurve. Good luck and God Bless.
Hi DWinVA, I want to get a tree saddle and don't have time to make one. Do you still like your Aerohunter saddle? I was about to purchase a Tethrd saddle. Any suggestions?
same setup, this stand is the best of both worlds.I’ve went to a hybrid set Xop retrograde and one stick with a 2 step aider. Really awesome set up. Black diamond rock climbing harness.
Oh yea. It’s been a real game changer so far this year. I feel allot more versatilesame setup, this stand is the best of both worlds.

I've been using a saddle for the last 2 seasons. I love the mobility, and the ability to be able to hide behind the tree when deer come in. I use a tethrd phantom saddle, tethrd predator platform, and their "tethrd one" sticks with a 2 step aider. The more I go up & down the tree with this setup, the faster & more efficient I get with it. My only complaint is that I had a back surgery about 5 years ago, and sitting in the saddle for long periods of time, seems to bother my Sciatic nerve on my right side a bit. Maybe if I tried a different saddle this could be alleviated?
