I heard it waa decent but the ropes have to be changed out, the bridge and the tether. So by the time u do that your better off buying a used tethrd, or latitude or a Trophyline covert lite.
@@scottglew9641 maybe one day!! Send me a message on Facebook or Instagram, I will have a couple saddles for sale soon for a good price. In near perfect shape.
Which do you like better, EDP or the Predator? I have the Predator XL and the EDP. I just got the Tethrd One gen 2 sticks so I’m tempted to get the Predator to have a super light setup.
Oh man, I mean the e.d.p is wayyy more solid feeling undery feet. The predator is just so fricken light it makes me wanna take it and hunt off it. How much do u weigh? Id say if your under $250 go with the predator.
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors, thanks! I like how solid the EDP is and how well it bites the tree. The Predator XL I like how you can angle the platform more but it doesn’t bite into the tree like the EDP. It’s real tempting 😂 but I’m not sure if 9 ounces or so is worth the price. I definitely don’t want to get rid of the EDP for it though.
I like the fix better, just feels better quality. Im 36 years old and prefer to invest my hard earned money on something that would last a lifetime. Im not so sure the predator would last me forever, at my weight.
This is definitely helpful because I’m scraping 250 but wanted a smaller platform to pair with a ring of steps. Thank you!
Any time
I’m 225-250 and have been using a Predator XL for two years. It works great. The only time I’ve had problems have usually been my fault.
Its a solid option for sure!
Jared "Ginger Ninja" sucked me in to buying one as well.
Yeah lol his video was real good. I thought the traction was super impressive.
#1 platform no question
Its a solid one for sure, its more than I expected it to be honestly. I was proved wrong forsure!!
I know its been a year on this video but are you using the regular saddle or the xl saddle
I run a XL saddle. 38" waist
If you had to pick between the predator gen 3 vs the Edp for run and gun public land what are you going with?
Edp, I feel like the edp is built better. Its a little heavier but cams better and is more solid. IMO.
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors thank you!!!
I got my hands on the carbon fiber one at a trade show. Can’t wait for that to come out later this summer. Same weight larger size.
Man, I wonder how much that boy is gonna cost???
I would guess $300
@@will3879 yeah or $350 😮
wonder if they will ever come out with it at this point lol
Whats your thoughts on the hawk saddle for hunters on a budget

@@MichiganGreatOutdoors thank you hope to see at big sky TAC

Truth be told the trophy line mission is the best platform out there
man thats a good one! Ive never tried that one but I have used the e.d.p quite a bit. I think the mission should be one that I try out soon.
3:23 "You're never gonna do this in a hunting situation."
Damn right I am. 360 or bust. And if the platform can't take it...... it's a bad platform.
I get it, I just probably would stand and turn around. I think its less risky.

@@kyledobson1607 id agree with that! Probably just stick with the e.d.p

First heck yea !!!

Polack outdoors?

Ginger fella haha. I have this platform. I like it.
The ginger ninja!! Hahaha, its a solid platform. I was impressed with it.

Im gonna look into it, thanks
Money aside. Fix or predator?
I like the fix better, just feels better quality. Im 36 years old and prefer to invest my hard earned money on something that would last a lifetime. Im not so sure the predator would last me forever, at my weight.
@@MichiganGreatOutdoors thats where I'm at. I'm tired if buying and trying everything
It flex’s with me at 190.
@tylernegron4131 yeah, cast isn't supposed to flex lol
