The Predator Platform redefined hunting from an elevated position.

It’s the perfect complement to any Tethrd Saddle hunting setup. The Predator allows you to shoot 360 degrees around any tree, with maximum comfort and ease. It does that without unnecessary weight and bulk. We’re biased…but we think it’s PERFECT.

SKU: PRED Category:

The Predator Platform allows hunters to shoot 360 degrees around the tree and remain comfortable all day long. The Predator can be installed on nearly any tree that will hold your weight. It gives the saddle hunter an extreme advantage when it comes to versatility and bulk reduction. There are a lot of advantages to the Predator, but here are a few of our favorite:

  1. Die-cast aluminum construction for superior strength and minimal noise.
  2. Rock solid, yet whisper quiet installation with our ZipCam strap and button.
  3. Easy adjustment for leaning trees or foot positions with adjustable platform leveling.
  4. Patented Traction Tread & Toe Wings for easy maneuverability and side pressure.

The Predator is the original ultralight saddle hunting platform. It's the standard against which all other saddle hunting platforms are measured. Weighing only 3 lbs, and packing flat for transport, it's the lightest, least bulky, full-featured saddle hunting platform ever designed.

Weight: 3 lbs

    I tried out the Predator on my first hunt of the season. It is very light and easy to set up. The one issue I had was that it made a creaking noise every time I shifted my position. After a trip to Tractor supply I’ve installed a new grade 8 bolt and nylon washers against the post on both sides. It appears to have taken care of it.

    A game changer in the saddle arena. Small, light, easy to hang, easy to remove, what more could you want? I hear some guys would like a little bigger version, maybe that can happen in the future but its the right size for me. Whats really nice is that its definitely big enough that i can completely remove all pressure off the saddle, like standing in a tree stand. If I want to stand there for 5 mins and give my body a break, non issue. Was completely worth the wait, all that foot pressure of standing on steps or sticks can make a guy turn away from saddles fast. Heres your answer, pony up and buy it.

    2 words… TRY IT! Complete game changer in my opinion. Setup is so easy and once it’s cammed over the predator platform is rock solid. It’ll take side pressure like a champ and is way more stable than any typical tree stand platform I’ve ever hunted off of in the past. The size is perfect for me. Just big enough to allow me to stand up and readjust my tether or rest for a few minutes but small enough to take down and pack up in a daypack. If you’re on the fence about buying one then I say go for it. My saddle hunting buddy tried mine out the other day and ordered the predator within the week. He currently uses a couple of WE stepps…. those work, the predator platform works better! Awesome product.

    Like this small platform. Simple to setup, very stable. However there is one problem. Buckle on the strap is cheap and stuck with webbing in it. After each hunt, i have to fight buckle to remove the stand from the tree. pretty annoying and uncomfortable especially when it is evening hunts. not sure if this buckle was designed for the thicker webbing or is just what it is, but I never had such problem with my sticks. Will have to change buckle asap.

    Hands down the best platform on the market! Super light weight and simple to set up. Its rock solid even when you put pressure on the side of the platform to shoot around the tree. Highly recommend!

    Great product seems to be well built I’ve had a few issues with it wanting to kick out with side pressure but it’s a real game changer for my setup.

      Watch a couple of our YouTube videos about setting up the Predator correctly. When done properly it ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT kick out.

    Mine come in the mail and the very same day I took it to the woods and climbed a tree on oak flat and shot a doe. Very impressed solid as a rock.

    I have sat 4 times with this platform this year. Absolutely the best platform out there. Cams in tight to the tree and absolutely silent when stepping around on it. This platform does not even hint of movement with maximum side pressure applied to it. Light weight and easy installation. Recommend watching Tethrd YouTube vids to appropriately set and cam. Outstanding!

    So I purchased this platform I had almost settled on just waiting for the XL to ship but was worried about getting it too close to my opening day and not getting to practice in it or actually after my opening day so I went with the regular predator and I honestly don’t regret it a bit I am sure having a little more platform is nice but for my as a woman I don’t have large feet so even with my big hunting boots on it works perfect does everything I could ask it to do! If you are not really needing or wanting a huge platform this is a great one to get!

    Just received my predator platform. I can see why it is referred to as the standard for saddle platforms. It’s awesome. Super user friendly and has a rough enough texture on top that you have good grip. Easy to add to your pack and be comfortable all day.

    Great service by the team as well. You’ve got my business. Now have my eye on the phantom.

    I would have to say that the predator platform is a real game changer for the mobile hunter! I would have to say that I had a defect on the pitch adjustment portion. I emailed Tethrd and said I needed a replacement ASAP to harvest a buck during the rut. They shipped me a new one the next day. Tethrd not only stands by they product but they take care of the consumer.

    I bought the Predator the day it was released and I don’t ever see myself selling it. I’ve tried a pile of platforms, but none of them checks as many boxes as my Predator. It’s lightweight, compact, packable, easy to hang, easy to position from, and bites solidly to any tree. What more could you want?

  14. Rebecca (verified owner)

    This is my first year as a bow hunter, and I quickly fell in love with saddle hunting. After getting some light weight sticks, the predator platform was the cherry on top. I have put it up and down over a dozen times so far this year with ease. I am 5’5, 120lbs and can always find a comfortable position on the predator. I won’t be hunting with anything else, I love my predator!

    I spent a decade DIYing different platforms looking for something that would allow 360 shooting, was lightweight and easy to pack. The Tethrd Predator Platform is the answer I was looking for. I see a lot of others trying to add more and more features to platforms these days. The result is a bulkier, harder to pack platform that doesn’t really add much to a saddle platform. Three decades of saddle hunting has taught me that to be mobile and efficient, and to give me an edge on public land competition, my gear needs to be quiet, compact, lightweight, easy to use and SIMPLE. The Predator Platform, Phantom Saddle & One Sticks do just that.

    Game changer. Very mobile, very effective, very sturdy. With a few inches of duck tape you can make this platform dead silent. Wont get any other product.
