I like them for private land. I have one 12 footer hunters view brand that I tuck into some thick cover and I went all out last year and bought a two man partner stand from big game. Sucker has a 36" by 45" platform so you can bring someone along for the hunt or just enjoy the extra room when standing/glassing. I'm building and securing a custom lightweight blind for it this year out of some 2x2s, camo burlap, and branches. Kind of hard to draw over the store bought blinds you could buy for it.

The major con is the weight. It may be left in the same spot now until it's time to send it to the scrapyard. But doesn't matter as long as the trail 15 yards from it stays hot, which it has for the past few years.
