Tree stand

maverick351 · Mar 16, 2016

I am looking for a hang on tree stand with an arm rest. Was considering the ol man roost. Any good suggestions or opinions?

I like one like this. It don't have a arm rest but you can put water in there and your tree will last longer.

Wow that's sound advice and I would consider that if it was at all and n the realm of helpfulness.

What? No sense of humor? Is it or is it not a tree stand?

Only kind i know or ever used. Laughs are getting fewer and fewer these days, i take mine where i find them and my sound advice is that others should too.

Geez Sage I thought you were serious...I was going to get one this year...

Joey, as much as I respect your opinion, you're wrong about this one, Bud.

Being in the professional Christmas tree business I can tell you that the Davis tree stand is far superior to any of those cheap stands. The initial price is higher, but these will do a much better job and last forever. Check out the link.

Maverick, sorry bud, again i only meant jest, no harm to your thread here. Some guys here might know and share plenty about hunting from tree stands but i cut my teeth in big open canyon country and never found the need or want for one. Now i live in big timbered up country that is thicker than the hair on a catahoula hounds back neck. The guys that consistently do good in this country sit on trails either from a ground blind or tree stand. Serious hunters that are in the game to put meat on the table here, they sit and do way better than the cover lots of ground guys like me.

Unfortunately, i can't sit a trail more than a hour or two, unless i got a particular buck patterned, and i got to get up and see what's over the ridge. I've always been that way and the method i've learned, loved, and been very successful to hunt, spot and stalk, has most always meant more to me than just getting the meat.

Good luck!!

I don't care what they say Sage, they was a funny response...RAS

maverick351 · Mar 17, 2016

Yes it was funny. I am just seeking help though and opinions on stands with what I stated before.

Your question may have gotten a more helpful responses in a Whitetail Forum or one based farther back East. Here, it's kinda like asking people from the Yukon their advice on different qualities of beach towels. ;-)

Still, don't go away mad or give up hope, there's bound to be somebody here that will offer some sound advice.
