I've never used this kind of stand, how portable are they? If i wanted to move it any time could I? Looks like it.

Define "portable".........

Sure, if you've got a couple of hours you can pull it down and move it a quarter mile.

But if you get to the woods and someones truck is near where you've set it up then what do you do?

"Portable", at least to many folks way of thinking, means carrying it in every time and having the luxury of picking a tree at the last minute and still being set up in 10 minutes. And it means being able to adjust yor location, by even a few trees away, in the same amount of time.

In general you're not doing that with these.

That said they do have a place in the woods. Got a couple, but I'll admit that they see less use than the climbers.

I mean like when I go hunting in a new place I put it on the tree and take it down when I get done. Are the ladders foldable?

Those type of ladder stands are moble but not easily so. That is what most would place on a owned or leased property for the year and they do work well when you can conceal in some branches and work well on smaller trees that you can't climb or use a lock-on. They will break down in 4 or 5' sections. Check out bass pro catolog or go to store if not to far away ,maybe even a wally world for other choices too.

These are the same ones Wal-Mart have, or some similar Remington stands.

It is not very portable. On our land, we use a number of that type of ladder stand. Soon we will be putting them up and leave them there until the first of the year when muzzle loading season is over. The ladders are in three sections--not too portable. We use the tractor and a wagon.

Nooo they are not portable it takes few hours of assembly plus you might need someone to help you, I have the side by side one and it took me 3 hours to drag it piece by piece down the creek then up hill and assemble it then I had to call my buddy for help to secure the ladder while I was tying upper portion of it, since then I didn’t move it.

These are good stands, I've got several I've had for years. If you like climbers, it's the way to go. These are far more comfortable than the ones with the sling supported seats. Summit comes to mind for one.

These aren't portable, but 24' to the seat is a lot of height. I've got one of these also. It took 3 of us to get it up.

Thanks, but are they backwards?

[DRYHUMOR]

No, you climb facing the tree, and sit facing the tree. And when shooting, you can use the tree for stability. The trunk provides a bit of cover as well.

Used to be, you could order a combo stand. Seems they may all come that way now. The seat has two levers on it, you move it towards the tree and it becomes a bow stand with the backrest used to lean out on as you draw.

It's about the only climber I've been able to sit in all day comfortably, not to mention catch a nap or two. The "husky" is for bigger fellows, or someone that likes a roomy seat.
They are fairly light, and strapped right can be fairly quiet. I've carried them 1/2 mile into the woods on occasion, with no fatigue.

I noticed the prices went up somewhat, I drove to Anderson SC, and got mine from him for 165.00 apiece.

I've actually got one cabled to a tree right now, that's been there for several years. When I was far more serious time wise about deer hunting, I had 4 or 5 out in the woods so I could rotate where I sat.
