Like you I went to permanent stands because they were more solid and all I had to do was to walk out. But as of late I have been going ground. I got some of these dog house blinds that set themselves up. I kind of like them. But you can see so much better out of trees.
Yes Dave I like the home made pressure treated wood stands the best, there solid and have lots of room and I just feel more safe in them than being in a hang on.
But I needed a stand I could move to where the action may be that I dont have a permanent stand set up. Plus I have made permanent stands in places befor that had good sign but all the scent and noise I left behind made the deer know I was there, they were good stands the following year but when I wanted to use it Now they were'nt that great.
This stand was a pretty good deal if it's not noisy, it was only $100 and comes with 8 screw in steps and 2 screw in accessory steps, a DVD that I dont need to watch but Im sure beginners should watch and a nice kinds big platform and seat.
