Anyone else here ever hunt out of the Tree Lounge.? I found that they were really heavey. Alittle hard to put up. But man. once I was up there I was set for the day.
Can't count the number of times I fell asleep in the thing. was really easy to stay from dawn to night in mine.
I still remember their videos :D .
I used one for a couple of years. Biggest problem was the distance from the tree when you stand to shoot. I felt I was easily seen because of that distance, about 3 feet! Also noisy when climbing unless you climb very slow and careful. Super comfortable, but heavy.
Hated the standing on the end of a diving board feeling with the bow hunting attachment. Comfortable for sitting though.
I agree with Cherokee Scout.
Greatest stand made ! Nothing else as comfortable. The newer ones are a lot lighter. You can put it on a pretty steep angle and get yourself close into the tree. The greatest thing about 'em is, you don't have to worry about what angle you'll be when you get to where you want to be. The newer ones don't have that springy effect on the bowhunting adapter. I'm going to be up a tree in one, in just a couple of hours from now. Sound like a salesman huh ?
I have one. I have hunted out of it as a climber just a few times. It is the most comfortable and stable stand you could ask for. It is just too heavy to carry in and out of the woods. I now have mine permanently hanging in a tree using it as a lock on of sorts. That way I have the convenience of a lock on with the comfort of the tree lounge.
A great Gun Hunting stand!!! I just found it hard to not get busted on the keyed up deer here in GA at stickbow range... Great for pine trees too!!! But doesn't really work for me bowhunting and since rarely do I gun hunt anymore...
I did some of my best sleeping in my old tree lounge, had to after lugging it into the woods.
Is this what you are talking about. I found this one already set up. Dosed off in it on sunday afternoon. :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

When I was younger and climbed trees I found it to be a great stand. Now days however I only hunt from the ground.

I never hunted out of one, but I will say this in the late season they stick out like a sore thumb.
I love mine....once it's up!!! A little heavy, harder to setup..BUT....once it's up haven't found a better stand!!!!
I had one for about two weeks.....and it was the most comfortable stand I've been in. Other than that, I hated it. I move from tree to tree and the smaller lock ons are better for me.
