Gorilla and Ol'Man Treestands
 

Did Gorilla buy out Ol' Man treestands??? The new Gorilla Climbers are pretty much identical to the Ol'Man Climbers.

Anybody know anything?

Sure looks that way to me.

Anyone have any of the new Gorilla Climbers? I have been leaning that way for my 1st treeestand and would appreciate any comments you all have.

I have a couple of gorilla's hang-on stands, and they are rock solid. Just about like standing on the ground. Got a new one yesterday. The air-ride seats are VERY comfortable. I don't use climbers, but have noticed they look a lot like the ole' man stands.

Hey,
I've hunted from the OL Man treestand for years now.
I like the kind that you lean up on a tree,and strap to the tree.
I've made my shooting rest that goes across the front of the stand out of 1/2 inch galv.water pipe with pipe fome.I thought the lean up stand was a lot better than always going up and down a pine tree to hunt. I like to get in my stand at least 45 to hour before daylight.
And always going up and down a tree in the dark wasn't for me.

OL'MAN and Gorilla
 

Gorilla leased certain patents from OL'MAN.

I have the greyback climber, nice stand, but heavy expect leaving it at your tree. Not thre greatest for bow hunting as the rail gets in the way. The lock pins for the cable are noisy and somewhat of a pain but other wise alright. Pretty solid when your up there.

OL' MAN all the way!!!! they are similiar but why go with the secondary when you can get the original!!!! I havent got one but have yall seen the Ol' man roost?? its their lock on stand and it looks sick! i love those net seats!

sry, that kinda looks like a plug for ol man... im not tryin to get a plug in for them but i rele do think theyre the best all around stands on the market

The newest Gorilla stands are miles ahead of the old ones. Love the new swing style adjustable seats. As far as Ol' Man, They are top of the line. I have been using them for many many years. They are beyond a doubt the most comfortable seating in the industry. Their newest ladders are rock solid too. You just can't go wrong with an Ol'Man to support your caboose. lol
