    I'm looking for new or used ladder tree stands. I need 3 but will take anything I can get. I really don't care about make,condition or height of stand. I can pick them up anywhere in Northern,IL and Southern,WI or pay for reasonable shipping. I would like to keep the price under $125 each.


    Thanks,
    Kevin

    Let's take a trip out to Wesley's place in SW Iowa and pick up his one of these upcoming weekends! Would love to check out some of the big buck area he is in!

    See if you can get some info on the stand from him. See if he will meet us somewhere just across the river. Chris is buying 2 stands this weekend but I still want more.

    anytime you want to come down let me know. I pretty well can tell you my days off way in advance. There is a little rodeo we have coming up in september that is always a good time. Chris Young is playing afterwards. Plenty of places to camp/fish around if you want to do that also. Lots of public land to scout and hike through.

    MEC- Its a big game tree stand.Its a few yrs old, but never been used. I think it is pretty much the same as the stealth they have now.

    Where abouts do you live in norther IL? Bout the most im willing to travel would be maybe Iowa City or Davenport. Not sure how far that is from you. I think Davenport is 3 hours from center of Chicago but its I-88 the entire way. I think shipping would be pretty pricey, it is a fairly heavy stand.

    I'm near Ohare Airport Wes which is a little over 3 hours from Davenport. I think shipping would be cheaper than trying to drive my truck that gets 17 miles to the gallon. I have 1- Stealth and 1-Stealth DX on the property already and really like them. Let me know if you can ship it. I think the weight of the stealth was like 50 pounds.

    I can ship it, just have to find a box to put it in, the box is long ago shredded. I would say, $75 for the stand, and whatever shipping is. If you want pictures let me know and ill get it out and get some on my days off, wed or thurs, and hunt down a box if you want it.
