RE: Homemade 2 man Ladder Stand
Even when I get steel dirt cheap it is hard to come in lower than I can buy them. But when I fab them amd weld them I have no question and I know mine are stronger.
As to a portable 2-man? Maybe from field edge-to-field edge but trying to move 2-man stands in the woods is not a fun thing to do. We have a fewon the farm. 1 is right off one of the more main trails (deer taken), 1 is way down at the south end back in the thinner treesclose to a creekabout 15 yards fromthe corner of a crop field (plenty of deer taken). And another is about 75 yards into the woods off the north end of our east crop field (deer taken) and it was the toughest to get in there.
They were all partially assembled at the barn and brought down to the fields with an ATV and trailer.
Best thing about the 2-man stands? Spending time with your kids.
