Default RE: Need help selecting tree stand

Driftrider,

I use the big game treestands. I think I use the Boss XL. They are like 70.00. Capacity is 300 lbs. I change mine a little to make them safer......I think! They come with one 2" nylon strap that goes around the top part of teh bracket. You can only tighten it by pulling tight by hand. I take a drill and ream out the brackets where this attatches and replace that strap with a 1" x 9' black ratchet strap. I also put the same size ratchet strap around the botton of the bracket. It seems like it pulls the stand into the tree so much better....I know I feel safer. I hunt with a guy that weighs around 300 lbs with all his gear, he sits in them and actually feels safer in my stand then any other. Good Luck and be safe!
