Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Ladder stand to leave out year round?

I use Summit Ole Man climbing stands with net seats. The easy Mississippi redneck way to replace them for me was to run by Delta Net & Twine ( a catfish farmer supply business south of Greenville) and they would gladly give you sections of old fish netting to replace your old seats -FREE). One way to solve a problem. Mine were left out from October til March
most years on private land. Bow season for deer thru gun and primitive weapons till end of February. Some ladder stands also used netting seats.

Oh fugk🤣

Would hunting the double stand above the beaver is eating, be hunting over bait??? lol

Only if your hunting beaver…..

If your stand has tubes with any open ends, fill them with foam to keep the wasps out. I know these things.
Finding out your stand is wearing a wasp nest AFTER you get in it isn't fun at all.

Good tip, right there. Makes total sense.

I'm about to put a stand up for the upcoming season and will dig out the spray foam to git 'er done right.

Revisited this thread after almost a year. Some new land to hunt has had me thinking about stands again the last few days.

Last fall I put up my old Gorilla platform stand. Came back to hunt two weeks later to bow hunt and the squirrels had completely shredded the arm rest pads in that little bit of time. That's what I'm afraid will happen with mesh seats.
