Go Muddy

I'm not one to push many products, give plugs, and I'm really a pretty hard guy to impress; but on a recent hunt I got to spend some time in a treestand that impressed me. Now, I know many of you are saying, "a treestand is just a treestand;" however, other than your shooting equipment, for the average whitetail junkie a treestand might be the most important piece of equipment you use in the woods. For me, a treestand must be quiet, durable and comfortable for those all day sits. If you hunt where crooked trees grow like I do, adjustability is a must, and the hang on stands by Muddy Outdoors meet those standards.

I used their Hunter Pro hang-on recently and I must say it had everything I look for in a stand. It had a thick, comfortable, waterproof seat, dual tree straps for stability and a large, rigid 30in. X 20in. platform, which was great for my pair of 14s. Also, the platform can be adjusted several inches with an easy-to-use knob, and the seat can be leveled for that perfect fit. They are a solidly built stand, and what makes them even better is that they are affordable compared to other similar stands.

Chances are, most of you guys already have your stands up this season, but next time you need to replace one, or are looking to get an extra one this fall, give the Muddy Outdoors hang-on stands a look. Just go to www.gomuddy.com and see what I'm talking about.

Comments:

A treestand is not just another treestand. I just got finished putting up a hanging stand, and halfway through the process, I felt like hanging myself (not literally). WHY would anyone want a hanging stand? First of all you have to carry the stand. Then you have to have steps (sold seperately) then you have to carry both items in the woods along with all of the straps and spend 30 minutes (on a good day...if you are alone) getting the rig up. I admit I bought mine b/c thats what they use on TV and might I add that my rig DID NOT come with backpack straps. Thanks Summit.
