Im 6' tall, and last season I weighed 240. I hunted out of a couple basic ladder stands with no problem at all. I hunted out of 2 Big Game stands (1 stealth and 1 stealth deluxe), and a Rivers Edge stand. Both were plenty big enough for me
Love both of these stands below, and they have 300# capacity. I'm a similiar size 6'2" 260# (i like to eat, sue me). Sportsman guide has like 30 other ladder stands to check out. If you get their buyers club membership you save 10% on every purchase for 1 year not too mention more free or reduced shipping coupons than you can use. Worth a look. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/guide-gear-jumbo-18-ladder-tree-stand.aspx?a=681071 http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/cb/rivers-edge-16-foreman-xl-ladder-tree-stand.aspx?a=826526
The ones I posted above we use during bow season because the rifle rests can be moved out of the way. My pops loves this one for gun season, we did rig up a foot rest on it and I have slept in it many times when that early morning sun hit me just right. I prefer the first one above mainly because the price is right. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/net/...e-swivel-seat-ladder-tree-stand.aspx?a=552578
