ladder stands
 

Does anyone use these every year with consistency - I am thinking of purchasing a few for the lease - they will be 15fters and If I can conceal them I believe they might work out - would be nice to have a stand in place ahead of time -

All I use is ladder stands, I have 6 of them. I leave them oout all year long.

what is your typical height for the stands

I like ladder stands myself. They're cheaper and as long as the deer have a chance to get used to seeing them, they should work just fine for you.

I have 7, the lowest is a 12 footer. My Dad killedTWO 170 class bucks from that stand in consecutive years (05-06).The rest are 15'. . .they've all produced.

I have several, and Jawshooter has almost 15 of them at his place. We hunt them a lot with great success. Dick's Sporting Goods has a great deal on them every year, I got mine for $49 each as a 15' model, and for another $20 each you can buy 5' extensions making them 20'.

i like em, make sure to get them with big platforms, as its hard to turn to the side for a shot with boots on
i typacally am up 15-17 feet in ladder stands

My son uses about four ladder stands from 12' to 15' and had great luck using them. we just brush them in a bit and try to get a good back drop cover.

I have a couple that are 15' and they work out alright. I prefer to set them up against larger Oaks or in Cedar trees.

I have one 15-20' that I leave up year round. I've hunted it a few times. Never took a deer out of it, but have seen quite a few in it. Only downside is they're kind of cumbersome to move on your own.
