Ladder stands,, Whats new???

[Fletch]

Was in Gander Mountain last week and they had Big Game Guardian 2 man ladder stands on sale (clearance) for $41.00 a piece.... I needed an extra for out in Illinois so I grabbed one... Also had some Rivers Edge grip rails (approx. 2 1/2 ft long) for $11.00 each so I grabbed the last 5.... Went back a couple days later to grab another ladder stand...... But....ALL GONE.....

I was looking for more of those 3 foot river's edge sticks but they were sold out.

Our gander still has a lot of them for sale. You cane make 3 of em go up to 20'

Great buy. Well below my cost as "a dealer." Guess my buying power doesn't match up to a Gander Mtn. Lol

You're still in business, they're on their way out...

Less overhead for me. Lower margins. Less sales go with it. But I don't get the price breaks. You take the good with the bad. I wouldn't want all the headaches associated with juggling that many stores. Lol

You will pay for them but the best ladder stands out there by far are the Millenniums.
I like the single 21 foot model.

I'd be surprised if you can make 3 sticks go 20' up, how tall are you?

That was supposed to be phrased as a question, im sure I can't get it to 20' as I'm only 6'2.

I can lol, I space mine so far apart that nobody else would be able to get in my stand [emoji23] . Just put up 3 of them today and hung a millennium bracket.

When you use the bracket do you leave the stand at your house and carry it in to each spot or leave it up in one spot and move around? Thinking that may be a good option for stand movement.

I bring it out with me every time. I'll post a pic of my setup in a few, same as Jesse has.

That looks like a pretty good set-up. May have to adopt your method.

I can't take credit for it, I copied it off of Jesse.

Agreed. In regards to comfort, it is hard to beat Millennium. They are fantastic. I'd argue the newer Rivers Edge are still pretty dang comfy though. You can do all day sits in them. Millennium are the Cadillac of tree stands.

Sitting at poolside & ordered the Big Game Nextgen Stealth from Cabelas since they have it on sale. I like the roomier platform & folding seat as compared to my other Big Game ladder.

Milennium stands seem to be a little harder to stand up in.. almost too reclined :smiley_chinrub:

Only hard to stand up for overweight guys. [emoji23] [emoji23]
But they are great stands,i will never own anything but a millennium after sitting on all the old stands we used to use over the yr's.
