This could possibley be the change in tree standhunting that we have been waiting for. Its called the T-Buck System. If anyone has any more information or has seen it in action or used this product let us know how it works!

While I can see how it might help in some areas......"MY" opinion, on first glance, is that the blind ITSELF would make deer take noticce. "I" think my camo pattern would do more to camouflage my outline.

My opinion, though.

EDIT: I STRICTLY bowhunt.

RE: New Stand Type
 

Can you bow hunt out of this thing?

RE: New Stand Type
 

Looks like a great stand for cold climates.

RE: New Stand Type
 

I like the idea of a combination blind and treestand. If you were 15 to 20 feen high, though, it looks like it would be impossible to take a bow shot at anything closer than 20 yards. You wouldn't be able to shoot down much at all.

RE: New Stand Type
 

The blind is just an accessorie, you need to look at the idea behind the stand, it took me a bit to figure out where everythgin was on the site, but there are pictures and stuff and supposed to be a video of it on the site but i cant get the video to work. The pictures show how to set the stand up and and get into it. If you need help getting to the setup pics let me know ill get the direct link. This stand is just wicked!

RE: New Stand Type
 

It looks like a safer idea in relation to setting up and the platform looks sturdy and good size. I think it may be a good choice for those looking for a ladder stand or hang-on type.

RE: New Stand Type
 

Actually heres the link on how it works.

If anyone knows how much this thing costs please let me know as well.

RE: New Stand Type
 

I think the big idea is the "assembly and setup" not the blind part... that is an accessory you can put on it.

I like the idea, and it'd be asafe way to hunt, but 30 min setup time??? Thats what they claim, and its probably more like 45min until you get used to it.... Im just wondering how much noise you'd make putting this thing together in the woods. Im assuming its supposed to be a "semi-permanent" stand, like any other ladder stand, and in thatcase if the price was reasonable I'd use it... but I would never try to fool w/ that every time I went hunting as a replacement for my climber.

From the time i hit the bottom of a tree, till the time im ready to hunt is bout 5-10 min depending on how many limbs i have to cut and what kind of tree im climbing. So i'll stick to a climber for my portable stands

RE: New Stand Type
 

Yep, I missed that. Last year I gun hunted out of a ladder stand. This one looks much more solid and safe. As far as set up time goes, I may be taking risks, but I never set up my stand the morning I'm going to hunt. Always the afternoon before. If I need to move, I'll do it mid-day. For security, I have a six foot rubber coated security chain and a padlock. If someone steals it, they have ruin it or carry bolt cutters with them in the woods.

Might be a nice "Outfitter" stand..but not practical for me.

RE: New Stand Type
 

Looks kinda tough to bowhunt from.

RE: New Stand Type
 

This stand would only work on a perfect tree, basically the same tree that a climber is used on.

i'll keep my summits, thanks;)

RE: New Stand Type
 

Looks pretty cool. I think that it would be the type of stand you would have to set up in advance. I just don't see it as practical for a same day setup. Looks heavy and time consuming.

RE: New Stand Type
 

HuntingEd, that's exactly what I thought. It's a nice idea, but way too long to set up and unless you're leaving it there I don't think it would be very practical. It isa step in the right direction and I like the trap door entry system.

RE: New Stand Type
 

Yea, thats what made me think it'd bea good stand to setup and leave in, but i can get 20' ladder stands for $85 at dicks sporting goods... if they can beat that price then i'd consider it.

RE: New Stand Type
 

I think it is a good idea but they can impove i think

First off, imagine carrying all of that to your spot that is about 1/4 mile to a mile away. that would take an army to get it out there

Second, it looks like it can be spotted on a tree quite easy. thus, theft. i don't see any security options on it either. if i'm paying big bucks for a treestand, i don't want it stolen.

Third, i like the trap door and how it goes up but somehow i think the system that they use, the weight limit will be less than others on the market.

i think it is headed on the right track tho! just needs some more thinking

MIGHT WORK

WBH, I just saw that stand @ the Wi Deer/Turk expo in Madison this past weekend. It has it's qualities. The platform is against the ladder portion & u raise it w/the rope on a pulley system. Couple of problems. It's not easily portable, meaning can't take it & out w/you. If u have land that u can leave it up, that would be great. The other problem is the amount of noise it makes when hauling up the platform. I think there is a safety locking mechanism, like dogears on ladders, that clack loudly when raising it. That was my biggest concern, especially early morning. You would hear that thing a mile away. Very innovative though.
