blind or stand

[petey the hunter]

simple q in iowa whats better stand or blind the blind is 50.00 and the stand is 120.00

[OhioBowhunter]

it all depends on the area your hunting. and im sure you can find stands under 120. infact i know you can find sticks and a stand for 70

[petey the hunter]

but there hang on stands and those scar me

I have never paid more than 75.00 for any of my ladder stands. Bass Pro will have one for that price during thier fall hunting sale...

[OhioBowhunter]

agreed you can get ladder stands very cheap. there are like six that are over 15 ft on sportsmans guide

We met a guy last year from Minnesota that makes stands, he calls them Mile High Stands and I think he is just north of the twin cities. I dont know if you are looking for the "cheapest" stand, but if you are looking for quality stands at a fair price, I would check them out. He made us 4 ladder stands and even 2 enclosed stands for rifle season, and I have never felt more safe and secure. Thanks Steve for making a quality product that I know will be around for several years.
Best of luck to all, and please stay safe this hunting season.

I like useing a ladder stand over a ground blind. I have found I like being able to see all around me, and it is hard to do that from a ground blind.

[OhioBowhunter]

i agree 100% BD but theres not always the tree to use a ladder stand so you need a ground blind, for example i hunt an apple orchard and i obviously cannot put a stand in there and its perrfect for a blind

I like to use a brush blind whenever I can, but if I can't I will use a ladder stand. Cause I'm older than dirt!

I love my lock ons. I have a truck bed full of stands and sticks right now that I am slowly chipping away at hanging. I am hopin to be able to shoot a deer out of a blind this year tho
