Need help please people!!!
Hi guys,
I've just been drawn for the Australian equivalent of a sheep tag in the US, I was drawn for first period hog deer tags next year! The guy that gave me the good news has been in for 25 consecutive years without success.
To hunt them I need a tree stand, my period is in Feb so I don't have heaps of time to get everything ready. Can anyone make a recommendation on some value for money stands, I can't afford an expensive one, just need something that'll hold my weight around 190lb for 8 hours a day over the week.
Thanks in advance,
Jack

If you are going to be in an area that has trees that a "Climber" will be adequate, there are several that are good choices. All will run about $250 US +/-. Summit, API and Ol' Man are all good ones. If you are going to be needing a more versitle type tree stand, look at a "hang-on" type and if legal to do so, use screw in steps. This will give you as wide an option as I know of. If you can go in and set up before you hunt, then a good "stick ladder" for the "hang-on" would be my preference.
