Which Treestand??

Are hogs that big good eating?

Lonewolf alpha hand climber is what I have and love it. It's really lite, only 14 pounds but might not be big enough for some people.

Look at the ameristep 15 ft ladder satnds, they are comfortable and affordable, also easy to put up.

Lots of great advice and I'd second the ladder stand option. Real easy to put up, get in and out of and pretty stable. Just my .02

Gorilla hang on stands and ladder stands work well for us

To answer SuperDogs question,the hog in the photo was a boar.I have found that the boars make good link sausage and/or to mix with vinison sausage.The sows are best for cuts.The boars are to rank to do cuts,but they seem to have less fat than the sows so the sausage is not too greasy.
I will have the sows hams cut into steaks,loins cut and ribs cut,the rest goes into the grinder as pan sausage.The young 70-100# we split them and save them for the pit.The big boars are best for link sausage.

I must be the only bowhunter on budget around here. J/K Strongbuilt has never done me wrong and you can usually pick one up in the off season for pretty cheap. Last June I bought a 15' strongbuilt ladder stand at Academy for $45. The seat isn't real comfortable but I added a cushion and it does me just fine.
