Mobility: With saddle hunting, hunters can easily move from tree to tree without having to take down and re-set up a treestand. This makes it easier to adjust to changing hunting conditions and find the perfect spot for the hunt.
Disadvantages:

Risk: Saddle hunting with the Tethrd saddle and Climb Right Aluminum Tree Climbing Spurs can be dangerous if not done correctly. Hunters need to make sure they are using the proper safety equipment and techniques to avoid falls or other accidents.
Overall, saddle hunting with the Tethrd saddle and Climb Right Aluminum Tree Climbing Spurs is a technique that offers some advantages over traditional treestand hunting, but it also comes with some risks and challenges. Hunters who are considering this technique should make sure they have the proper training, equipment, and safety measures in place before attempting to hunt from a tree using a saddle and spurs.

    Using spikes make it a lot tougher, and is a workout. I have done it back in the day but we had a lot heavier lock ons and didn’t use a linemen’s rope. I did it several times and said frickit. Have a buddy that did it all the time

    Awesome bro! I look at each method like a tool. Sometimes sticks will work in a place where a climber won’t and if you spend enough time scouting, you can mark those spots. You can forget the spurs on public land in most places, but I think they will be awesome on some of the areas that I do hunt, that will allow them. My buddy is a lineman and he gave me a set so I bought some of the tree gaffs and hoping to try them out by the end of season Where it is legal.

    I put a piece of high density foam on the bottom of my spur. Not on the spike. That completely eliminates the concern of stepping on the platform and dinging. It also helps from dulling the spurs while on the ground.

    I have same spurs. I moded the upper strap with a leather belt. Works awesome an the bottom I left the original leather strap. I love them an they are super fast an effective to get up a tree. I have the tethered skeletor sticks as well but they take more time an are heavier. Also I can't get as high as I want with only 4 sticks. Only downside of the spurs is if a giant walks buy an ya dont have a shot an you want to get down fast an do a spot an stock hunt. Otherwise I use them on most hunts. Great video

    Been using tree climbing spurs with a saddle since the late 80’s. Mine comes up to my knees and leather with buckles like a belt. No platform. Take 3 screw-in steps to stand on when you reach the height you want and never take them off.

    I’ve become a fan of SRT. I don’t like taking the spurs on and off. Rope packs easier. You do need a preset loop or a throw ball though. I keep the spurs for just such occasions as a hunt in a new area. But I also like the one stick for a first time in a tree hunt.

    I know most wont agree and it will definitely feel uncomfortable at first, but I’ve been making a living climbing power poles for around 20 years, and climbed trees for most of my teens and early 20’s. Leave the hooks a little loose around your feet. You don’t want them super tight. Also, for the buckle biting into your calfs, grab a few maxi-pads from your wife’s purse and stick them to your legs. Having my legs rubbed raw, stinging and burning, and pouring blood from my legs taught me to improvise.

    I get the point about the Velcro so why can’t you just undo the buckle? Then use the Velcro to put them back on tight to come down, your hunt is over👍🏻. I use leather strap buckles.

    Think.... if someone walked up your legs with spikes...... your going to have injuries everytime they stepped on you. Its gives a weak spot/injury that leaves the tree susceptible to disease and pests. That would have otherwise not been present. I wish as "outdoor lovers" we could rid this technique
