Two years in a row I have been bear hunting and different people have sit in my Buckshot made by Bigshot and both have come home and sold there tree lounge, they both loved there stand but sold them and bought Buckshots.

If its comfort your looking for, at an affordable price you should look at the Ol' Man Treestands. I have tried the tree lounge and while it is comfortable it is too noisy and to bulky for setting up silently. The ol man is spacious, fairly light, and the best part is it sets up in a minute or less. Plus it climbs whisper quiet. I am 6'3" 260# and can sit on stand all day in the ol man climber. It has a netted seat which is very comfortable and a 32" long platform. I have even fell asleep in it, with a safety strap on ofcourse.

I have the older version tree lounge and i have found that it is best to hang the stand on the day before season and leave it there .the tree lounge is very easy hid all you do is lay it flat down on the ground and cover it with leaves .Also before you do this roll the chill pad up and tie it so if it rains or snows you wont sit in a wet seat.You can also put a rubber washer on the back bar bolts and wrap the bolts in pipe thread tape this will stop the noise off putting it on the tree.the only complaint I have with the stand is i find it very hard to climb down with its much easyer climbing up. I also sugest that you find a tree with a pine tree growing up next to it ' this way you can climb up till you get to the point were the limbs from the pine tree are wraped around you for extra cover. good luck guys i hope you get a big one

Mine collects dust in my storage. Heavy, loud hard to put on a tree. Still hunting frim my 10 year old ol man. To me it's best used as a semi-permenant stand. If your going to hunt the same spot alot it's ok. If you need to move alot to find deer I say find something else.
