homemade stands
hey guys i know people have probably asked the same question well.....lots
me and my buddy found a piece of property to hunt next year and we're kinda tight on money but his uncle has a lumber yard that we have access to. i was wondering if you guys have any plans for building treestands or sites that have them, we want to make both ladder stands and possibly some hang-ons.
any help will be much appreciated
thanks,

RE: homemade stands
Making wooden stands isn't that difficult if you have to tools. Just our main type of stand around here. (Don't care if people say their safe or not, we never had trouble.) If you're using it for bowhunting which I guess you are by where you posted this, then you shouldn't put a railing on it. I'm sure you could find dimensions on how to make one somewere on the internet.
