Hunting deer and other big game animals from elevated stands are nothing new, with Native Americans and pioneers utilizing bluffs, trees, and other perches to see animals approaching.
But today we have the incredible luxury of sturdy metals, weather-resistant seats that are comfortable, and the ability to put these ladder stands pretty much wherever we want to in the woods or near food plots.
Some hunters prefer to build wooden stands but with the cost and time involved to secure the materials, get quality materials, build it and then and erect the stand, it might be better in the long run to purchase a good, quality metal stand that will last longer than wood that can rot, split, be eaten by termites or insects and have rungs that come loose over time.
