My neighbor sold me a brand new Big dog (beagle) hang on stand for $10.00 today. he said it wasnt comfy and wanted it gone. heck for the price,i couldnt say no comfy or not :d not a real big platform but im easy to please.
this guy built a house down the road from me two years ago. we are getting to be pretty good buddys. he loves to hunt
He isn't lieing either! That stand makes your ass think terrible things about you..... On the bright side, nearly all my stands are this comfort level , it isn't that bad if you don't mind standing. Comfortable or not, I usually try sitting and hour standing an hour (maybe 30 minutes)....helps keep from being uncomfortable and keeps you alert and ready by changin it up.
I try to do that somewhat also. I usually sit a couple of hours and then stand for about thirty minutes. I'm more alert when I'm standing, but for whatever reason, I get more fidgety.
Hey man, poor college student here. Rather spend $$$ upping the quality of my important gear (quiet bow, broadheads, good optics) and am absolutely willing to sacrifice comfort to do so! Give your neighbor my contact info LoL.
