Page 10 of 12 - Treestands & Saddles

Hunting from above gives you the edge. Whether you prefer a classic tree stand or an ultralight tree saddle, getting elevated helps you stay concealed, expand your field of view, and improve your chances of a clean, well-placed shot. Our selection of treestands and saddles offers both traditional and mobile hunters the comfort, safety, and versatility they need for long hours in the field.

Why Use a Tree Stand or Tree Saddle?

Tree stands and saddles allow you to hunt effectively from an elevated platform, which keeps you above the line of sight of the animal while minimizing scent dispersion, and also allows for a favorable angle to shoot down at the animal.

Tree Stands:

• Provide a stable platform or seat for extended periods of sitting.
• Come in a climber, hang-on, or ladder stand option.
• Best for a setup over a known game trail or food plot.
• Allow for comfort and stability while hunting with a bow or rifle.

Tree Saddles:

• Lightweight and very mobile - great for public land or mobile setups.
• Allow for concealment while being able to move quietly with 360 shot opportunities.
• Good for hunters who travel light or need to set up in changing conditions.
• Combine safety, stealth, and versatility into one minimalist system.

So, whether you're working on a permanent deer stand or going in on the fly with a tree saddle, either method employs a system of hunting smart, staying concealed, and getting the shot!

Choosing Between a Tree Stand and a Tree Saddle

Be mindful of the way you hunt, the land size you hunt when considering your mobility or comfort:

Tree Stand:

• For an all-day sit, consider a padded tree stand with a backrest and footrest.
• For rifle or crossbow hunting, a larger deer stand provides more space for your gear and an easier shooting position.

Tree Saddle:

• For a public land access with the potential for run-and-gun hunts, a tree saddle is a quieter, more lightweight, permeable option.
• If you are a bowhunter, a saddle provides a full range of motion and easy setup in heavy cover.

No matter the configuration, you should always wear a top-notch safety harness with your stand or saddle and follow all recommended tree climbing safety protocols at all times.
