We have several deer stands and the Big Game is one of the best. It has a shock corded seat.
MUst haves I suggest:
Shooting rail
Foot rest
padded back rest
Nice to haves:
Double side ladder rail to make ridgid
full mesh floor
Keep on section of the ladder out to make it feel more solid. Our older hunters in the crew like it better and the ladder bounces much less.
Avoid the menards brand stands.
Spending $75 more really gets you a better stand.
We add lots of ratchet straps on ours and we do not leave them out and pull them in every year. I don't trust the paint on most of them. Watch for a store that has them on display outside and see how the paint is standing up.
Good luck.
