I've got a Big Game 2 Man Partner Stand that I used last year and loved. Very room and high enough up for concealment purposes.

But getting that thing up was an ordeal. It only weight 130 pounds and I was able to carry it well enough to the site by myself. But the problem comes when trying to raise it up against the tree. The problem lies within the majority of the weight residing at one end of the stand - the top. So I had my father and brother-in-law pushing it off the ground near the bottom of the stand toward the tree and myself behind the tree with tie on straps situated near the top of the stand, pulling as hard as I possibly could. We got it up but the top was wobbling all over and I could tell my in laws were a little concerned with everyone's safety.

Anyway, I want to move the stand this year about 100 yards and am wondering if anyone's had experience/tips to offer on making the processi of raising it up to the tree a little easier and safer? Thanks!
