How do you camouflage them or do you just put them close to a tree/background that will mask your movements?

They make a wrap for them that you can buy. We prefer to butt them up against a tree, but sometimes it's just not possible in a cutover. I've never spooked a deer in one (that I know of).

Burlap or military webbing around the basket. We replace it every year. It also backs up to a line of willows that masks you if the deer are looking from most directions.
We have one that has lasted for at least 15 years and my brother in law kills something out of it every year. We check the legs, etc. every year to make sure it's all in good order.

Back it up to a tree with high limbs for cover, and strap it like a lean to. Then cut limbs around the stand at stand height. You’ll see the deer, and if placed properly, they’ll never know you’re there. One of our best stands is a tripod.

Thanks....anyone have a recommendation on which brand?
Recommend a 2 man for more room. Google is your friend for best brands. I messed up and bought Walmart specials. Hardly any room, and only 300lb limit. That’s why we strapped it to a tree.

Don’t laugh too hard at me…but I use old artificial Christmas tree limbs on my ladder stands. Easy to bend and wrap/zip tie, stays green forever, and you can get all you want for free after Christmas when people trash old ones. I’ve never painted any of it but you probably could make it better by doing it a little.
