The SCOUT Platform
Weight - 15oz
Our new SHIKAR sticks have an optional “scout” platform that can replace a step in the sticks. The “scout “ just adds an additional 8 ounces to the already super light 24 ounce stick. The scout was designed for that serious long haul minimalist hunter that wants to get to the woods and in a tree carrying as little extra weight as possible. Simply remove lock but, knob and step. Install the “scout” in place of step install knob and lock nut. The platform is designed to fold just as the step does to minimize space for packing

Advantages Of Saddle Hunting
- Extremely Lightweight Tree Saddles: Tree Saddles are lightweight, making you more mobile. Perfect for the Public Land Owner! Our new lightweight saddle hunting steps make climbing a breeze too. At 24 ounces, we offer some of the lightest saddle hunting steps on the market.
- Little to no noise: With a tree saddle, you don’t get the noise typically associated with pulling up tree stands.
- Hunters Safety: While there have been lots of hunters who have fallen from conventional tree stands, when saddle hunting you are tethered to the tree from the moment you leave the ground until you step back on it after the hunt, making it almost impossible to fall.
- Affordable: While some of our saddle hunting platforms may be a tad more expensive than some traditional tree stands, you only need 1 saddle hunting platform. Gone are the days of needing multiple stands for multiple sets. Save time and money saddle hunting.

Most comfortable step platform I’ve ever used

Scout platform
I bought the scout for my one inch lonewolf sticks. It fit perfectly. This platform is very sturdy and has plenty of room for my feet. I have had no issues with moving around to get different shot angles. I have been using a ridge runner for the past 3 seasons and loved that platform, but I think this one might just be better, especially for shorter early season hunts.

Scout flat
I like this platform. I got it for top of beast stick work great. Only con is it comes with two holes an to put on a beast stick with holes you have to drill a hole in platform. As well as remove powder coat from slot.
