I have only been hunting deer for about 10 years. Started on the ground, then climbers(im to clumbsy) then ladder stands and platforms built in trees(4'x6') I use the ladders where the woods are thin. I put mine up by myself. EVERYONE of the above post are good information. But just like shooting, go out back and practice until you have a system. I am 45, I do not bounce like I use to
. So be paitent and careful. I do like the ladder stand with rails, it will give you a good gun rest and somthing to lean on if you decide to take a nap. Admit it guys, that is have the reason for hunting deer
