Your Basic Redneck Ladder Stand

[MikeT49]

This is your basic redneck ladder stand. Talk about easy setup. Probably a bitch to carry through the deer woods.. I do have several uses for it. I'm testing out a new treestand. Get the bugs out before I head back home to Wisconsin for archery and gun seasons. Makes for excellent practice. I plan on sitting in it enough to get the twitchy shit settled down before I head east. With any luck my target blacktail doe (Barbie) shows up and I can check the "shoot a deer on my property" item off the bucket list. The stand I'm testing is a Hawk Helium Pro. Doesn't weigh the advertised 12#. Might weigh that w/o the seat and footrest. Weighs 17# Good enough. My old hang-on stands weigh more like 35#. I have to use a davit to pull them up for installation. This puppy you can just throw it over your shoulder and climb up with it. The platform is roomy and can be adjusted for level. My butt will be testing out the memory foam seat. Hopefully comfortable for all day sits. I'll update when testing is complete and hopefully I'm munching on some tenderloins. Mike

Not red neck enough, throw some old house paint on the ladder. Tar paper umbrella over the stand would be a nice touch.

Best I saw was a pickup cab up on 4 creosote poles. I saw it driving by and I wish I had taken a picture. This picture gives you an idea of what I saw.

Have to use an old truck, need the hand crank windows. Electric windows make too much noise.

I remember walking through the woods looking for a flat limb I could sit on. Doug

Yeah, But this is just a "basic" edition. Still working on my redneck card. The great pyramid wasn't the first one built

Front fenders from different years and different colors, Two wheel drive with a 16 1/2 inch split rim and mud grip tire on the front axle.

How about a refrigerator with the doors removed and a seat inside.
I sat in it for like a minute it was cozy, then thought what if some ass decides
to take a shot at it so in the rain I went.

Could they get ya for shootin out of a pickup? Doug

Deer are curious.
Get your chainsaw tuned up. Set it on a stump when it's idling, back off a respectable distance. Take your choice.
Caution!! This may be classified as baiting in some areas.
