You need the right setup for this one, but I have built them when I find trees in a cluster of three. I put 2*6s on the outside of the treesto make a triangle. 2*6 from tree 1 to tree 2, 2*6 from tree 2 to tree 3, and then a 2*6 from tree 3 back to tree 1. Screw them tight to the trees and build your platform on top of that newly created triangle. Actually I find trees right for this fairly often. Ibuilt 2 of these8 or9 years ago, and it has now killed some of those trees that got screwed . So, I do not build premanents anymore, no need to kill a tree.

In all honesty, I eventually noticed that deer with anyyears of experience behind them know what those are andseemed to skirt around them.Its like any stand, keep depositing scent there or get busted a couple times and they catch on, especially the big fellas. I take no responsibility if you follow my stand plan and you get hurt, use plan at your own risk!
