I know you requested stands for less than $150.00 but I have been looking at the new Packmaster Telescoping Treestand by API.This stand cost a bit more at $229.00 through Cabelas.The bonus is that it comes with a 4 point harness and that is supposed to be a $50.00 value.All API stands come with the harness.

This looks like the perfect stand to me.You do not need the perfect tree to climb.Just find a good spot and run the ladder out and climb and hunt.The nice thing is it telescopes in and out and you carry it in like a climber but without the hassle.It looks t that it would require even less time to put up than a climber.


I think I will have one this deer season.
