I've only been hunting out of a tree stand now for a few years (have a slight dislike for heights), but it has always been out of a ladder stand.. Well while we were cleaning some land around one of my tree stand, a stray log got lodged in the bottom rung of the ladder.. And, well the Bobcat moved the log and most of my ladder with it.. I hope I can just find some replacement ladder sections (at Dick's because it's just a cheap Field & Stream one).. But this brings me to my question, this also gives me an excuse to buy a new stand, and I have become fairly comfortable with my ladder stands. I was thinking I might venture out onto the next metaphorical branch and get a cling on stand (currently browsing the Big Game Boss XL), BUT as a rather large person ( 6'2" 275lbs.) I'm still just not 100% sold on moving to a cling on.. I'm just looking for some opinions, advice, experience, or that nice, gentle get your ass out there and you'll be fine..

Thanks in advance..
