i remember several years ago there was a local sale on tree stands. i think it was the loggy bayou cheap seat.i bought one and they were selling like hot cakes for 25$. i would just make sure your policy is up to date. cheap and treestand dont add up to me.

I bought one similar to that at Dick's a few years ago for $30 as well as 16' climbing sticks for the same price. It's a good stand.....although I've hung it two years in a row and have yet to hunt it! I'm not a big fan of the chains.....too noisy when setting up.

They had the same stands on sale at wal mart 3 years or so ago. I bought10 of them, and they are still being used. I just replace the ratchet straps each year.

You guys that don't like chains,,I would think chains would be the way to go,,especially if you want to hang it and forget it.I would LOVE to find a good deal on a stand that used a chain.You can hang it in late summer and take it out,or move it the following spring,or later.You know the weather,or the squirls are NOT going to hurt that chain.Now the padded seat on the other hand,well....

I always get the Gorrila's when they go on sale. They used to be sold ata local Gallions until it was bought out by Dicks. Once Dicks took over the inventory quantity and quality seemed to go down quite a bit. I dont go there much anymore unless my wife drags me in there. Glad some of you guys are still getting some deals from there.
