In the past I have hunted only public lands so I use a tree climbing stand. Well this year I have found my way onto a lease in east texas, which I am really pumped about. However, I need to buy, make, or barrow two stands. I think that I will make at least one box stand (for those really cold rainy lazy days) and maybe a tree or tripod stand. I was wondering if anyone has an idea of the cost of a stand vs. building one, and if you have any advise. Alsoare thereany good places on the internet to research this topic.
