Default Ladder Treestands?

I am pretty set on getting a treestand after only using ground blinds but i didnt like how difficult it was to get my cousins hanging stand up so i am gonna get a ladder stand.
I dont really want to spend over $150 so if you have any suggestions on models or brands please post them here. Any info will help!

Thanks

This one is just a bit more than you wanted to spend ($180) but the Cabela's I-beam models are great stands. We have a couple that my Dad hunts from and they are very comfortable and of impressive quality.

Stay away from the Walmart Ladder stands! They are very uncomfortable!!

I would recommend Strong Built. (if they still make them??)

Bought an inexpensive one at Cabela's about 6-7 years ago and still works for me today. I don't spend all day in it though, only about 4 hours in the morning and 3 in the evening. I have a compressed foam pad I take in with me (I leave the stand up during most of the season)and it makes a difference if it is chilly or wet.

Ok thanks but would you prefer a hanger or a ladder?

Just curious on what you like?

Thanks
