Default RE: Which type of tree stand?

Neck nice to meet you. I have The Gorilla Silverback, and the Gorilla Baby Gorilla. River Edge Litefoot XL and a older modle Bandit Chain on, with a hard seat. Being a big guy,. 6'4" and 250 pounds I like big stands. The problem is I pack with horse or carry in a tree stand in very steep big country. So weight is a factor, also as for where I hunt a tree stand does you no good most of the time, except over a elk wallow. Anywhere else if you want to get above a animal you have to hike up the mountian. I realy like my Silverback, and my Litefoot XL, both cost around $120-$150, if I remember correctly. The other two are just too small for my liking, they cost around $65-$100, again not positive on pricing. I do put them up anyway, I usualy hunt with 3-4 other friends/family. In late august early Sept. before the elk rut and when it's still warm. The elk hit the wallows hard. They ues them in the rutt too, but by then, the calling game is on and that's what I love. I hope this helps you out. Just courious where are you from and where do you hunt.
