A can of spray paint can correct that if need be, but I persoanaly look at function and how quiet it is, I just can not stand a stand that creeks.(noise) These conditions change from winter to the fall depending on the servirity of the winter.Its got to be quiet and comphy as opposed to camo. CamoI can take care of. Theres more priorities in a stand than colour.My own persoanal experience its got to be comphy and quiet and then maybe weight packing in and out. Grab a can of spray paint.

Rick, paint the bottom of the platform with camo green. After that you won't notice. As for the sticks, don't worry about it. You'll love those sticks after you use them a few times.

Greg, those pics are impressive, especially the trebark. I don't think I will do anything to change the appearance untill I see it in the woods. Have all year to play it out. Thanks all for the input.
TeeJay, you had your chance.

What is great about the LW is how quiet it is, it makes zero noise if setup correctly. Deer tend to hear a stand before seeing it. My Uncles put up a ladder that was a double wide. They thing was huge, 2 weeks I tried to sneak out to a stand. I got within 6 steps of that stand, the big 8 was bedded underneath it almost.[&:] I would have never gussed he would bed there.

leave em out in the elements for a while, the shineshould go away.

You would think with all the hoopla of Lone Wolf they would give you something ready to go, especially for those prices.

personally i dont think its the tree stand.... might be the location.

I've got some Realtree duct-tape that's awesome for something like that. I know you probably don't want to go putting duct-tape on a new expensive Lone Wolf stand, but it sure would keep it from standing out in the woods.
