RE: Stands for a Traditional bow hunter
Since I own my own land, I build all my stands as well. I get 1" metal square tube and weld up what I want. I hang them and leave them where I like. If I need another, I just make another and hang it where I need it. I have had one stolen one time, but that was during a time of heavy treaspassing. Not the G.W. frequents my land, so the treaspassing has stopped. Had lots of poaching going on as well. That has stopped too.
