ladder stands
Been considering buying a 16-20ft ladder stand for deer / bear hunting. Anyone have any tips on what to buy? What stands do you recomend, or which ones should I stay away from. Any input would be appreciated!

RE: ladder stands
we took the basic design of the cheaper stands and built our own for about 1/3 the price. simple and easy to do if you have the means and welding equipment to do it. also strong thicker metal and bigger platforms to sit/stand on. but cheap wally world stands arent that bad either.

I got some cheap 16' ers at bass pro when they were having a sale for like $50 they are all I need, the only thing I found I didnt like was they didnt have side rails, (I find that an elbow rest makes sitting all day alot easier) so I made some.
