After consolidating more to one property this year, I decided to get a couple more stands to limit how many spots I have to climb or pack in a stand to preset stick ladders. I though I would get some more budget chain on stands at after season prices. I also was going to replace cables on three of my 5 baby gorilla stands.
I just found out that Gorilla is no longer making stands. My favorite stand has been the baby gorilla chain on stand. Real good budget stand sufficiency big and comfortable enough for me to hunt a reasonable amount of time. Dead quiet once set up, and no worries about straps or much worry about them walking away with a lock on them. I also like to pack in a seat pad so I really have nothing that can be eaten by squirrels on my stand.
So does anyone have a source for baby gorillas still in stock?
Is there another budget chain on stand out there similar?
I may have to get some Guide Gear or Rivers Edge stands and change them to chains, but would much rather just buy a chain on stand.
I'm sitting in a gorilla right now, nice stand. Since I can't find them anymore I've been buying the guide gear with the large platform. Awesome stand for the money.
I have 4-5 of Gorillas, I like the larger version's better.
However, I much prefer Lone Wolf Alpha II but you can buy 3-4 Gorilla's for the price of one of the Lone Wolfs.
I really like my lock-ons to be a bit adjustable for tree lean. The Lone Wolf and Muddy are good for this.
I wonder what put Gorilla out? I hope not tree stand lawsuits?
I have a Lone Wolf assault for those odd trees and packing in stand, but want a budget stand for a lot of spots. The Guide Gear looks to be to be a strap on gorilla. I hear you can't even get parts for the gorilla stands or I would get some hooks and convert guide gear stands.
I was thinking about a Chippewa wedge lock with multiple hangers as a fast set stand system than the LW, but I see they are out of business also.
i just brought one for flying arrow in carmel ny i think they have about 10 left in stock
