I have a couple just like the one in the picture a few posts up. I bought them cheap on closeout. They aren't comfortable. I and my son kill deer out of them. I tie burlap around the top rail on.mine and it helps hide you.

Cheapest one you can find, zip tiesm pipe insulation and some gunny sacks cut for a wrap, game over hunted in them for years, when they are on sale just buy the 2 man there as cheap as the smaller ones. not bad to carry either if you have a spot where access sucks.

i bought 1 man ladder and 2 man ladder stands from Dunham's when they were on sale. i found out quickly 1 man = 1 child while 2 man = 1 man, possibly a child.

Ladder stands are some great stuff as long as you can leave them Last year for the first time in 15 yrs I had one stolen It had been there for years , fugging thieving ass meth heads For me , Summit climbers are cream of the crop , get you some locking cables and leave em , they don’t get much more comfortable than that . I’ve had three tripod stands , all different makes , all of them eventually start digging into your ass A good tractor supply coushin, a holly tree with long , low over hanging limbs , ass scooted up to the butt of the tree overlooking a well scouted trail , spells success on a pretty regular bases . Of course it doesn’t have to be a holly , any evergreen works well Kenneth

I've got Big Game ladder stands, but no doubles. The newest one is the most comfortable tree stand I've ever sat in. Good luck. https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/big-game-the-spector-xt-2-person-ladder-stand

Big Game HD 1.5 is on sale at Cabela's today for $119 It is a very good stand, especially for the price.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~

I used to have the best one I've ever owned and used. You put it up against the tree, and a spring loaded arm connected to a rope would swing around the tree when you pulled the rope. Then it would be secure enough to climb and further secure it with a nylon rope that threaded through hooks on the arm and the ladder stand itself. Really nice setup. Wasn't but about 10-12 feet, but I always set it where I could find a tree with brush around the base of the tree. Worked really well I had it set up on a R.O.W. and a doofus that mowed that fall made a turn right at the tree and wiped it out with whatever batwing mower he was using. Wiped out several "WARNING-GAS PIPELINE " signs too. My stand was off to the side out of the way, it was just a doofus that had no business sitting a tractor, especially with a big wide shredder on the back

New to the 7x57 world but picked up a sweet M70 Featherweight from the classifieds here a year ago. Still haven’t shot it. Probably should.
