RE: Tripod Stands?

I set up a 14' at my last lease and never went into a box blind after that worked well. . . . .hung some camo burlap around it and was good to go.

Gorilla brand Quad Pod is the best I've ever seen. Picked it up at Sam's this time last year for $200. 16' tall to the gun rest. Very solid.

For some reason I don't really want to setup one of the full box stands that seem to dominate the landscape around my property. I've been looking at the tripod stands and Academy has a Strongbuilt 16' tripod stand with a deluxe 40"x40" platform for sale right now for around $220.

This seems like a pretty good deal and at that price I could put 2 or 3 up around my property in prime spots for alot cheaper than a regular blind.
What are the drawbacks for putting up these tripod stands? Anything in particular to look for?

Here's a link to the stand in question:

I would be using it for deer and wild hogs.

Thanks, Nathan

The draw backs are the elements, not good on cold rainy days, for bow hunting, I seem to get busted all the time in them, my hub blind works much better. A tree stand also works better for bow hunting, if your just rifle hunting then they work just fine, if you can stand the cold or rainy-misty days.
I have two hub blinds now, theyre cheaper and work much better, my tripod is now furniture in my backyard. LOL
