which tree stand?

I'm hunting this year for the first time. All i'm going to do is bow hunt. I'm a big person and want something with room and comfort. Prefer a climber or hang up style

 

Assume you mean climber or hang-on, not a ladder? I know some bigger folks like the summits because it makes them feel more secure then some other stands on the market. I personally like Lone Wolf both for a climber or hang-on. XOP offers some competitive pricing with a few similar stands however, some folks on the forum have pointed out mixed customer support responses. I've had fine response them them via email.

If all you are going to do is bow hunt, I would put the LW climbers very high on your to do list. Assuming you care about something light, quiet, and extremely packable.

 

Just how biga boy are ya? I've heard some big guys say they like the summit Goliath.

 

no ladder. I was looking into the millennium tree stands but looking into the others

 

I love my Lone Wolf sit and climb wide

does the platform have plenty of room to stand up on?

 

check out River edge Big foot XL, Large platform and large mesh seat. I have had two and love how roomy they are.

Plus you can find them on sale for around $79

 

Yes it does. I think it is the same length as the standard, it is just wider

I'm in the big guy group as well. I use the Summit Titan for a climber and the Big Dog Mastiff XL for a hang on. The Big Dog platform is 35"x30", which is great for moving around.

 

I love my Millennium. As far as comfort goes it cant be beat. And its light, I pack it in on all my hunts (just hang several brackets and climbing sticks, and pack the stand in). Im afraid of heights, and in this stand I feel safer then any others.
