Deer show up from any direction they want, who hasnt looked and been like where did that deer come from? So lets play a scenario where we see the deer coming from a long ways out, say 100yds. He is coming right toward your tree, you have the tree between you and the deer. Your right handed in this scenario. Your thinking slam dunk then the deer gets 20yds away and veers to the left side of the tree. :eek: You dont dare move, so you figure you will wait till he goes by and then you will walk 90 degrees to your left, turn in your saddle and shoot him. Oh wait, he didnt go past your tree, he turned and is walking to your left straight away. In a normal stand you had this deer shot when he turned, or maybe you took a quartering away shot. Now in the saddle you have to walk 180 deg around to your left, then pivot in your saddle and hope you do it before he gets out of range. Ive spent a lot of time in the saddle, and there is just too much movement needed for certain shots. In a normal stand, you just turn and you can cover a lot of ground. There maybe situations where its a great tool, but I havent had that experience.
