Need Tree Stand Recommendations
Posted on 4/4/18 at 12:06 pm
Posted on 4/4/18 at 12:06 pm
I would like to get a ladder stand and an emphasis on height: I'd like to get one at least 20' tall (it's not for hunting deer). I'd like to have a fully enclosed blind atop it, but this isn't absolutely necessary and a two-man blind would be preferable, but not at the expense of height. Anything I should be looking at in particular? I'd weld one together, but it would likely be far heavier than I'd like.

I’ve gotten away from ladders and use lock on stands more these days. They’re more portable and I can adjust the height dependent on the undergrowth or canopy.

I'm all lock-on also but these look awesome
Idk how I'd feel with only 1 person in it though

This will be on my property and I am wanting to avoid damage to the tree as much as possible. Would a lock-on stand cause a lot of bark injury?

It's not a climbing stand, so no bark damage from the stand. It really depends on what kind of step/ladder system you use depends on how it impacts the tree bark.

Are you peeping on your neighbor's wife or something?

If you could elaborate on it's intended use, maybe we could give a better recommendation

Photography, primarily of birds (and other animals) in the canopy of oak and hickory trees. Like such:

Oh bird watching. Not sure if the police will buy that

I would search BassPro and Cabelas for 2-person ladder stand if you need 2 people. Most lock-on's are build for 1 person. Most are pretty sturdy, but light enough to install without a crane. Some are built for comfort, so you can sit for hours. You can put camo netting or burlap blind material around any of them. Here's some examples.

You want a Milinium or a similar knock off.

Did you take those? Great pictures.

Yes, thanks.

I use the X Stand. Very comfortable and very high. Great lock on system.

Millennium ladder stand
That's what I hunt out of. Comfortable enough for all day hunts.
