A tip for anybody who, like me, has a young' n hunting with you. WalMart has a 12 ft ladder type " Buddy Stand" made for two people (500 lb capacity). It' s a seated type with a shooting rail for $97.74. I picked one up this afternoon for my 10 yr old and I to use in the upcoming youth deer season. If you have a kid just starting to hunt, this will let you both sit in the same tree stand.

Here is a link to the info on the web site - it says out of stock. My local WalMart was out last week, but had 6 in stock today.

I too took advantage of that great deal. I have a 11 year old son who is very excited about ths season. The stand is up and waiting for us. I put a four foot extension on it and is still a very sturdy stand. I have had him in ground blinds in the past but this year will be more exciting for him for he will prob. see alot more deer from the tree. Nothing like spending weekends in the woods with son/daughter and creating great memories that they will remember forever.

OUT OF STOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, the web site says " out of stock" . A week ago my local Wally World was sold out, also. But, this past week-end they had them on the shelf again. Aparently they get them in a few at a time and they must be selling pretty quick.

I bought one last year for $125 & it was still a deal. I have had the wife & kids both in it-works great.

BassPro - Similar model - $98.00 . 12 ft model.

Nice unit - goes together in about an hour.
