Hey guys new to the forum...
Also new to saddle hunting, has anyone done any type of mods to the predator platform at all? And if so what type? Also.. I have lone wolf sticks and thinking about shortening them down... ideas on that as well??

Other than the camo sponge paint job . . . .

I replaced the stock strap with an amsteel daisy chain immediately. I'm just not a fan of the noisy metal strap clamps. The daisy chain has worked well for me. I believe others are using a Hys strap type attachment as well.

I also taped a piece of a tongue depressor onto the post where the adjustment screw hits to quiet that contact point down. It needs to be replaced a couple of times a year but it's easy to do so I don't mind.

Oh, and Welcome from northern Michigan!

Also painted and replaced strap with 1/8 Amsteel daisy, and wrapped the edge with paracord to reduce noise. Recently replaced the standoff with one from Doublesteps.com. Haven’t tested it yet but looks like I’ll get a lot better contact with the tree vs the stock standoff.

Platform Post Bracket (1 1/4″)

Platform post bracket for use with 1 1/4″ square tube to offset platform post away from the tree. Sold individually and includes just the bracket and bolt, not the platform post or platform s…

Painted, paracord wrapped, and then added one of those small furniture felt pads (the ones about the size of a nickel) where the adjustment screw makes contact with the post.

That's my same set up minus the platform. Paint looks awesome how'd you do it.

I haven’t tackled those yet. I did cut down a set of hawks, and have some lone wolf stick I’m thinking about shortening but won’t have time until the off season. I know there are some here who have done it.

I ended up doing them last night!! It’s quite simple. Only takes about 10-15 min a stick
