My favorite is the Gorilla Silverback Magnum. I like the lightweight aluminum, the large platform and the padded seat. To get into this stand I use either the Gorilla climbing sticks, an unknown brand of stacking type climbing sticks or the EZY single fold screw in steps depending on the situation. You can view the pictures of these on my web site if you would like. http://www.whitetaildeer-management-and-hunting.com
