Didn't want to hijack another thread. I've been contemplating a saddle for the last year as I see more than ever and have researched a little bit on them. However, my question is whether I will truly benefit from it. I live on my 20 acres that I hunt 100% of my hunts. I have to be very selective of when and where I hunt to minimize pressure, and to play the wind right. I also bowhunt 90% of the time. I'm on the western side of the "block", meaning our predominant winds here in west michigan are blowing into the bedding areas.
Would a saddle benefit me to play the wind in certain areas better and have 1 setup for any tree I've scouted throughout the year, say hunting the north side vs south side of a transition food plot off a travel route when the wind isn't perfect for a set stand? Or am I better off sticking with ladder stands/hang ons?
