We met a guy last year from Minnesota that makes stands, he calls them Mile High Stands and I think he is just north of the twin cities. I dont know if you are looking for the "cheapest" stand, but if you are looking for quality stands at a fair price, I would check them out. He made us 4 ladder stands and even 2 enclosed stands for rifle season, and I have never felt more safe and secure. Thanks Steve for making a quality product that I know will be around for several years.
Best of luck to all, and please stay safe this hunting season.
