Default Question on the Hunter"™s View Buddy Stand

I want to take my son bear hunting this weekend and was looking at the Hunter"™s View Buddy Stand so I could be in the stand with him. We"™re going to be about 200-300 yards from the truck and be in the stand for at least 4 hours. This stand weighs 78 pound and takes about 15 minutes to set up. Is this practical to use where I"™ll be taking it right down after the hunt? Does anyone have any experience with these stands?

I just bought two hunterview buddy stands for my son and myself, one for bear hunting and one for whitetail hunting and we are 100% happy with them. We carried the stands in about 500 yards. I carried the top portion while my 11 year old son carried the ladder portion. It was no problem at all. you and your son will appreciate this stand,good luck hunting

I have two of these stands for my grandsons, they work great! In cold weather I slide a Ameristep outhouse blind over them and keeps them out of the elements, fits perfect.

I never would have thought of that , and I own an Outhouseâ„¢ blind !

I've been looking at this particular ladder stand with an eye toward getting one or two for my grandkids to hunt with me , I think you guys have just sold me . I have many Ameristep products and have been very pleased with them .

Works great if you get it on early enough for the deer to get used to it. I was lucky enough to be in the blind with both my Grandsons when they harvested their first deer, a 8pt. on opening day with a shotgun and a big doe the second day with a .50 cal. Will never forget it!!!!!!!
