What type of deer stand do you use?

RE: What type of deer stand do you use?
I have a ladder stand and a ground blind. I like them each for different things. the ladder is nice for expanding my field of view while being very comfortable. the ground blind is nice for portability and getting out of the snow or rain.

RE: What type of deer stand do you use?
i killed my biggest deer out of a box stand....but i hunt out of a climber about 95% of the time....if possible, i like to get at least 30 foot high...not only to be hidden, but for scent control...also with a climber, the deer have no idea its there...if you buy a climber, make sure its aluminum, and has cables...quietness is your main objective, followed by comfort and weight..

I only use a stand during bow season, that being said I use a climber, and a few I have built myself as well as ground blinds. I think the climber is the best, it gives me options and I can change location even half way through a hunt if need be! It just leaves me options, and I like that.

I've owned all types.... hang on, climbers, ladders, Every year I sell the old hang ons/climbers remaining and buy new ladder stands, they're all I use.
I'm almost always hunting with my father, so I have another set of hands to move a stand etc..., but once they're in place, they're awesome.
I still own one nice climber, which I never use anymore, because I just put a climber in a new area when thinking of trying a new area, if you dont know where youre gonna hunt etc....a climber is nice for that, but ladders have the most room/comfort out of any stands, period. I like a big platform, big fold up seat, shooting rail.
