Hey all,
This will be my first season using atreestand. My wife would like to come with me this season and tape the hunts. I am not sure if we should get a 2 man ladder stand or if we should get two hang on stands.
What are your thoughts on this, two man stand or 2 individual stands? Any help with this would be great!!!

I would go for the double ladder stand if you'll be hunting a single spot , two hang ons or climbers if you'll be hunting multiple spots . Have you also considered buying or constructing a ground blind ? Your shots will look much more dramatic from ground level , especially if your wife is shooting from directly behind you like they do on tv .

2 hangons. This is how I taught my wife and my boy how to deer hunt. Less noticeable staggered in a tree, way easier to setup(two man ladders are heavy!!!), and cheaper to buy to economy hangons than a two man ladder. Plus when they arenot filming with you, you have two hangons for different setups.HCH

I would have to say the two man ladder stand if you are not going to be moving it often,they are heavy. I purchased one a few years ago with thought of bringing my boys someday. I tell you though, being a bigger guy I should have gotten one a long time ago. I love hunting in it by myself. Lots of room.

I would stick with two hang on stands fro a more realistic hunting experience for your wife and i have found that a ladder stand unless way up in the air can be pretty suspicious

i agree with hardcore two separate that way in the future you can set them up in two different spots
