i use ladder stand a lot.
i went to double one even tho i am only one in tree.
they say they are 15 ft, not true.
usually they are 12 ft,so, buy a extra section which will put you up at 15 ft or so.

you dont need any higher.

the 2 man or double one as i call it are great.
i can take my bag and make pillow and lay out on it.room for bow,bag, camera and aCAN OF ALCOHOL.i take toliet paper, put it in maxwell house can, pouralcohol on it and LIGHT IT.this warms my hands and feet also.you have room to do this with 2 man stand.no smell with ALCOHOL to spook deer. s is great if you are tired or sore from sitting.

secret to getting a buck is being able to sit from daylight to dark for DAYS.this year it took me 5 weeks to get a buck .

2 man one allows you more room.


i also have TREESUIT and i use it if the deer change do to pressure/rut and i can sit for only hr or 2.

many bucks i got with that treesuit that i would not have got with ladder stand.you cant sit all day with treesuit BUT, its deadly during rut when a buck cant be patterned chasing a doe.in fact,its best for this but not something for 8 hrs of hunting, its a stand that you will KNOW a buck is coming ,up tree and wait 1 hr or so, here comes ole mossy horns.
