Default milehighstands check these out

We met a guy last year from Minnesota that makes stands, he calls them Mile High Stands and I think he is just north of the twin cities. I dont know if you are looking for the "cheapest" stand, but if you are looking for quality stands at a fair price, I would check them out. He made us 4 ladder stands and even 2 enclosed stands for rifle season, and I have never felt more safe and secure. Thanks Steve for making a quality product that I know will be around for several years.
Best of luck to all, and please stay safe this hunting season.

I like useing a ladder stand over a ground blind. I have found I like being able to see all around me, and it is hard to do that from a ground blind.

i agree 100% BD but theres not always the tree to use a ladder stand so you need a ground blind, for example i hunt an apple orchard and i obviously cannot put a stand in there and its perrfect for a blind

I like to use a brush blind whenever I can, but if I can't I will use a ladder stand. Cause I'm older than dirt!
