RE: Best Treestand
For sleeping and spending all day in the woods - hands down it's the tree lounge, big heavy and OMFG awesome to sit in. I easily have lost 5 deer due to being asleep up there.
For serious killing I like the Loggy Bayou - portable, easy to climb with and safe.
For ease and comfort I have 2 ladders set up pre season

RE: Best Treestand
Zoomer, I agree with you on the tree lounge, but I have 2 of the older
models. Don't like the new models. Mr Bob Hice has bought back the
company and hope he will go back to the old design.

RH,
I agree with you on the comfort of the Tree LOunge,but I need to lift weights prior to the season to be able to carry the da-- thing! And coming down in a Tree Lounge is an Hand-pinching, drawn out, slow a-- process. But they are good for a nap and hands down the sturdiest stand out there.

RE: Best Treestand
SwampMan, have you seen any old models. They weigh more than the new ones.
I have the deer stand installed, but I have the spoke wheels on it, plus the hunting
acc. bag loaded, the pad and pillow, the tree umprella and my rifle and ammo.
I pull it , not carry it. I have been doing it for over 10yrs and never had a pinched
finger or any problems with it. I took off the speed knobs and replaced them
with large ss wing nuts and secured the studs with ss washers so the would'nt
pull out. OH! I also replaced the 5/16 studs with ss studs. I have two of them.
The new ones are not as stong as the old ones.
I took off all the fabric and etched them with Muradic Acid and bought the camo
spray kit, they look great.
