I have hunted 7" with my loggy. Just like it was said before the tree will sway as you move. I hunted them because it was a new area and I wanted to see what's there. It would be hard to drop something from those trees. I never really tried to. I just enjoyed the deer I've seen.

awesome. I'm leaning toward the gorilla silverback magnum. It is small and light but has a large platform. Don't really like the claw straps, would rather have ratchet straps. Know of anywhere that I can get replacement ratchet straps for this treestand??
