Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 8, 2017 I posted in the Trail Cam section about the tree stand and I am curious.......after summer goes by and the fall hunts finish up......and my late bull elk hunt arrives.......is it OK to sit in the stand if it is still hanging on the tree???

bonecollector Report post Posted May 8, 2017 Looks like the seat is up, is it locked in the up position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cjl2010 Report post Posted May 8, 2017 Sure why not. I would definately move it higher up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted May 8, 2017 That looks like a vulnerable spot. I wouldn't sit it either way. Too low and no back drop. Animals would probably see you a mile away 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted May 8, 2017 I would not sit in someone else's stand but I would not hesitate to hang my own in the same spot 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
More D Report post Posted May 8, 2017 I would not trust that one. Who knows how long it has been up, manufactur, etc. Buy your own new and get a quality one. Your life and or future may depend on it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted May 8, 2017 I wouldn't hesitate to hunt right there, but I wouldn't use the stand for reasons already listed. If you like the spot put up your own stand... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted May 8, 2017 I know nothing about tree stands and have never been in one.....just puzzles me to find this one like this.....haven't really encountered one I guess. I would never go up that high......for fear of getting to anxious and falling out!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Titanium700 Report post Posted May 8, 2017 Move it higher up. In that open woods I would be at a minimum 25' Also use a safety harness no exceptions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millhouse Report post Posted May 9, 2017 I have never sat in another persons stand, but I don't know if I see a problem with it. There are several reasons I wouldn't use that one though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Couzer Report post Posted May 9, 2017 If it's not mine I don't touch it! I would hang yours a little higher or in the next tree. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
