Default Gorilla Greyback Deluxe Hunter Climber

Anyone used one of these before?

I'm thinking about buying one as a back-up to my Summit since they are priced half off. Might be last year's model, but oh well, still works.

Let me know what you think.

I'm also wondering about these stands! They look and feel pretty good in the store! The run for 240.00, 119.00 from your link seems like a steel! Did you buy one???

I hunted out of one all last year. I love it. Its also good luck, 2 hours out of the package and I had a doe down on public land with a bow!

I own one, as well as a buddy of mine.They are great for the price. A little uncomfortable at first until you get that netting stretched out, then it is pretty comfortable. Great for packing in and out.

I am so tempted.... the only question, is the net seat cold in the winter since the air isn't blocked by foam???

I guess I'll find out for myself!!!!!! Order up! I did check these out in the store for about an hour or so, I think I'll be happy with it. My old climber is about 6 years old and getiing beat! Old, heavy, bulky and loud no more!

Gander wants $249 for the same stand I just order for $139 delivered! Seems like a deal!

I have 2 of these stands. they are the best climber i have ever used other than an ol' man. and rumor has it that gorilla has bought the patten for ol'man. if this is true or not i don't know. all i know is that they are very similar. set up is a piece of cake. there is a square guide on the cables so you don't have to worry about your loop spinning when you try and place the pin in. first i bought the plain gorilla and had to exchange it for the magnum. the extra 3 inches in the seat section makes a huge difference. the only downfall to this stand is the bar you sit on while climbingis a little far from the tree making not hard but just notsuper comfortable going up and down.it is super secure on the tree, i have never hadmine slip at all .the mesh seat is very comfortable, i don't have the deluxe pad but i am sure it makes it even better. i would rate this climber a 4.5 out of 5.
