RE: Guys..we've gotta do it. Lets see some treestand photos.
Here you go, I'm having Deja Vu.
The Stand MECHDOC will be hunting this year when he goes to my spot.
The stand I will hunt most of the time. Most of the pics MECHDOC posted were taken here.

RE: Guys..we've gotta do it. Lets see some treestand photos.
Raceway andWashington How do you access these stands. Do you use the screw in steps, ladder steps, or george jetsons jet pack. They are all wawesome looking stands other than the first couple looking like they are only 20 or so feet tall.
Im very fortunate to have large white oaks that I am hanging one of my hangers in and purchased 40-50 climbing steps (screw in), while the other two hangers are going in an old hickory tree with natural steps (branches) once you get a good 20 ft up.
Do you use a ladder with extension to get everything "upstairs" and then make the ladder (steps, or what ever you use)
I made on last year of two 20 ft extensions of a painters ladder. I took both pieces apart, camo'ed the hell out of them and strapped them to the tree with my favorite hanger (35-40' high), and this year plan to use the Gorilla steps.
Beautiful concealment, but still wondering how you access them come time to hunt them.

For the first few feet I'll use screw in steps. After that point the branches are generally all live and thick enough to support my weight. Sometimes I may saw a limb or two off on the way up to clear a path to haul my bow/pack up through and will use another screw in step or two.
The majority of the way I climb on branches.

RACE....How the heck do you stand up in that one stand on the leaning trunk ?
I've passed up so many locations for hang ons because of trees like that. I'm now rethinking some trees.
On field edges, I dont mind tucking ladder stands into some brushy trees..They can fit some trees that hang ones cant...But I'd rather have a hang on.

RE: Guys..we've gotta do it. Lets see some treestand photos.
I have a few but can't seem to find many.
If the picture belowwere bigger you would see the six does in the back ground.
My favorite time of the morning:
"Hey man, you seen anything??"
Later that hunt:

Sorry some of those pics are huge(anyone need wallpaper)and probably been posted before but oh well.
Edit to fix size.
