Any one use a tree lounge?
 

DOes any one use a tree lounge? Tell me what yoour opionion is on them I thinnk they are the best stands made.

RE: Any one use a tree lounge?
 

my personal opinion is that their a rip off. Why spend like 600 bucks on a tree loung when you can find cheaper but just as useful climbing stands for a cheaper price. Personally they're to big and they're supposed to be light. We'll honestly a couple more pounds to carry doesn't seem so bad when im caring a huge wad of savings.

you start hunting and you suck, you keep doing it till you dont suck

I have one and it is awesome. Takes a few more min. to put up but once your up there it is like sitting in a lazyboy. You can honestly sit in it ALL day. I feel super safe in it too. 19 pounds without bow adapter and 24 or 25 with it. It packs very well on your back too. I'm still a little loud with it when I put it up but with some practice you can get it up quietly.

RE: Any one use a tree lounge?
 

I used one at one time. They are by far the most comfortable stand that I've ever used.
My 2 complaints is that carrying it in it is so bulky that its hard to be quiet.
2nd is that if you bowhunt out of it: when you stand you are so far from the tree. The deer are alot more apt to see you.
Gun hunting all day if you already had it on the tree you can't beat it.

HUNT HARD

I have the old model, (5 years old) and it is comfortable, yes, but the dang thing is too heavy to pack around from hunt to hunt. I have cabled mine to a tree permantly on my property and don't move it until seasons end. Mine is also way too loud when putting it on a tree. Just imagine bolt threads raking inside a hollow piece of aluminum, and you will get my point. I know one thing, the old model with the bow hunting adapter, weighs a heck of alot more than 26 pounds. I promised someone last year that I would weigh mine up due to the fact of this same argument, but, I have failed in doing so. I will get to it after the season.

I love it!

Hurry up and wait.

I have the new one with the bow stand adapter. Top notch. I like staying in the woods all day and that was the reason I purchased mine (because of the comfort) Comfort is awsome! The new ones are a lot lighter than the old ones supposedly? Dont know because this is my first one. I like it. Its not heavy at all, I dont think.

I love my tree lounge. Well,
I like it alot. Very comfortable
all day stand. I found it a little
cumbersome for bowhunting unless i
set it up before hand or used it
as a lock on. I fully extended mine
and put foam insulation on the rails.
Its kinda tall when backpacking but
it elimanates most of the noise when settin
up. The newer ones are alot lighter.
I definately reccommend them. I paid $260
for mine. Definately competetive in price
unless you add a bunch of the over priced
accessories

RE: Any one use a tree lounge?
 

Well when im hunting i dont worry about comfort. Comfort can draw your attention from what your really trying to do. Personally i just buy the cheapest stand and sit in it. The cheaper they are usually the smaller and thats how i like it.

RE: Any one use a tree lounge?
 

I personally i think they are the best well made stand for setting long periods of time. i have the new one and price competive----(YES)!!!!!! I know several people who have fallen from cheaper stands or have gotten hurt from stands sliding down the tree...
I say to each their own thoughts-------!!!!!
its like hunting higher-----go as high as you want to fall!
If your not a person who spends time to shoot trophys-- your spending alot of time in the woods, and trophy's you will see, and possibility get the opportunity to harvest the aminal of a life time!
I will say this--NO STAND IS SAFE! YOU HAVE TO HUNT SAFE!
i HAVE THE TROPHYS TO PROVE MY SUCCESS, AND THE TREE LOUNGE IS
MY CHOICE........

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

I like my Hunters View Hawk Cable Climber. It's a great treestand, and I love hunting from it.

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.
