I've only used "stand alone" elevated stands and ground blinds. We are overrun with hogs, but I have yet to have one move toward me one winded. Shots are usually ~100 yards and they tend to go swimmin' instead of charge (long story).

IF I used a tree stand I would make sure the bastid hogs didn't take my ladder once I got comfy in the tree. Other than that I'd use several tie downs to secure the ladder and use a rope to lift the unloaded rifle.
