Thanks for the replies everyone!

I have a Cabela's catalog, Bass Pro catalog, and also an Eders catalog. I have looked at the many, many, types of treestands and just got confused.

Here's more details (besides me being a total newbie):

I primarily hunt the public WMA's here in Virginia.
I don't have access (yet) to any private land.
I plan on investing in a good portable treestand that I can take with me wherever I go (kind of rules out ladder stands, doesn't it? <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle> ).

Thanks for the great advice! Good luck to you all this season!

Butch
