If you you've only hunted once - how - can somebody make a judgement on - ALL - Wood Stands??
Is the $113 stand fit for a 12 yr old or grown Man(18 x 13" - WOW - Is This a Mis-Print).
I think we owe the original poster more than just a negative view of wooden stands.
You can build a hek of a lot better stand than 18x13" for $113.00 outa wood!!
Who said I've only hunted once ? I've hunted far more than that just from ladder stands , and the one I referenced is fairly typical of the breed . You can't buy a beachfront condo for $113 , and there were much larger ones on the same site if room is what you want . Wooden ladder stands aren't the devil's design , but they will
never hold up as well as a steel ladder stand regardless of design or weather proofing . Risk your life on wood if you want , not me .
