I got tired of having to put stands up every yr, so started buying ladderstands I leave up all yr
I used to hunt 5-7 states a yr, and had many properties I kept stands on
I used to find and sell, about 8-10 stands a yr from trespassers too
used to leave a note when I took them down , saying IF they wanted back, they could contact me, But I would have them arrested for trespassing?(also would get them for property damage)
TO date, NO one has ever claimed a single stand!!
if you hunt a lot and a have a lot of places, its pretty easy to get a LOT of stands over the yrs!
if you buy 5 a yr, in 10 yrs that 50 stands?
been hunting for a lot more than 10 yrs
I also replace stands about every 10 yrs or sooner based on how they hold up, and all get a good once over every yr , as tree's grow and thats a TON of stress on welds!
