just thought i would share an idea. i use some hang on stands but mostly ladder stands. the problem with the ladder type stands is that they stick out like a soar thumb. i went to the dollar store and found 6 ft length atrificial plastic leaf type garland. i use plastic zip ties to secure them and your in business. im sure the deer dont care but i hate the way my ladder stands stick out in the woods. you can also wait till the after xmas sales to get the pine type garland but its a little more money and i found the color of it doesnt blend with the local pines that well. happy camoflauging!
