    I do, I have a discontinued tethrd saddle, or at least it's not on their website anymore. I really enjoy saddle hunting but I pigeon holed myself and finally also got an XOP retrograde so I can use that as my platform so I can hybrid hunt. With that being said I also still use my trophyline mission platform because it's a larger platform and allows me to feel more comfortable if I want my back to be to the tree. You could check out the new tethrd saddle or even the latitude outdoors saddle that's $199 which I really like. The saddle I have I don't find it to be very comfortable per se as the bridge isn't adjustable and the waist belt loosens too often, I'd say it's a solid 6.7353/10 As far as a system, are you needing sticks and platform too? For ropes, I just ordered some 10mm rope from Amazon which has served me well; I'd definitely recommend looking into using the ascender climbing rigs as they are super easy to use and easier to loosen compared to a prusic knot.

    Last night only had two young bucks (spike and yearling 8) come in. Work today and perhaps I'll hunt somewhere tomorrow if time allows.

    Tomorrow evening and Saturday morning I'll be going out. Wind is a bit iffy but if I choose my set up correctly I should be able to play it just right, then it's just a matter of something coming in that I'd like to shoot.
