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.
I’m fixing to head in after this rain passes in about an hour and hunt till dark maybe I can get me a midday buck I’ve never been lucky enough to kill one in the middle of the day Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
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.
Another update: Big buck was 3 yards away from my 40 yard max shot. So close to being able to draw and fling one. I saw 4 other bucks and 9 doe today. Was another amazing morning. Buck hung around for over 20 minutes but, just did not happen as needed. Will try again in the am. Two different stands, two different great mornings. Hard to pick which spot tomorrow.
Thanks! I'm definitely going to consider all that. Hopefully I'll be able to use my upcoming bonus to buy what I need. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk
Update: Slow morning. Not a tail from the stand. Then walking out I was about 150 yards from a stand the day before and spotted a giant moving into a swamp. Problem was I had to get home for work and he was not coming my way...Try again tomorrow. I'm enjoying the 3:45 wakeup and chase. Two days left for me to get it done.
Unfortunately no buck on this one. Going to get some more corn out and hope and pray he comes back in. I did end up finding blood and followed it for a good bit. But it dried up and wasn't able to locate him. He got into some real thick stuff and I was no longer able to follow tracks.
