have you considered a ladder stand. A little harder to set up the first time but once it is in place all you have to do is walk and get in the stand to hunt.
they are on sale all the time @ walmart, dicks, sprotsman warehuose,basspro...

we had high winds for 2 days here in pa . for deer.
the guys with the climbing treestands were done at noon first day,many said they almost passed out in tree from SWAYING.
i put my ladder stand on a big a of oak tree.
in winter ,storms usuially come out of north,so i put my stand on south.
i was out of wind, no SWAYING and i can climb down and go to truck, take a break and back to stand , up in 10 seconds.
49 dollars for stand,i have 2 out too.
