Looking to overhaul all my sketchy lock ons and single ladders. I’m seriously looking at the 2 man hawk Denali. I am not looking at bowhunting from these tbh I want comfort for the best price. I know millennium is the top but double the price of the hawk. Any recs will be appreciated.

I've got one of the cheap 2 man Game Winner platform stands from academy (the taller one) and I've been pretty impressed. Seems to be really well made and designed. A bit heavy, but not too bad if you have a couple guys to hang it. Plenty of room

I just bought a Rivers Edge 2plex. I liked that it has a 1 piece mesh seat that you can fold up when you leave and it has an adjustable shooting rail. I put it together last weekend but am waiting on some help getting it up in da tree.

Appreciate the heads up…was gonna jump on a Hawk deal for 270$ but they were out of stock. I had a buddy recommend big game as well. I don’t plan on moving this for years hopefully so mobility is not a factor.

We got some of the Big Game double ladders. I like them but I have found if I take my old Styrofoam hunting seat with me and put it behind my back it greatly helps with comfort.
Its not the will to win but the will to prepare to win!

TIPS QUESTION !!! I like the 2-man stands for comfort and ability to put my pack or gear right there, instead of being scrunched up with chit hanging off a stand or above-beside me. They're also heavy as chit (or can be) so moving them around isn't a walk in the park. FOR YOU GUYS who put up stands and leave them, do you each year check and loosen the attaching chains or straps so they don't dig into the tree and bend-warp-screw up the stand? Do you leave them a little loose to begin with so the tree grows-sways? Do you tighten the chit out of them and let it ride? Like y'all, I've seen some spooky chit with ladder stands over the years. Warped or sketchy. Chains embedded in trees. Straps that look worn. Safety's always a concern for me. Also - this is a neat product to help put up a stand if you're by yourself: https://www.treestandup.com/product/stand-up-composite-and-anchor/

This one for me. I do keep a close eye on them and will swap out straps/rope when they start getting weak/sketchy at all. Ratchet straps are cheap. Our stands are in some pretty gnarly places and taking down/putting up over and over would be a huge pita.

I have about 10 2 mans out. I loosen and retighten every year and I use two straps per stand minimum. Get ones with a solid bottom platform.

Have a Hawk Denali double and absolutely love it. No regrets at all. I've sat one a few times and it's really nice compared to the others i've owned or tried
Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many!

The Hawk sale had ended so was back to figuring out what route to go. I ended up going with the millennium L205 which after tax was $330 at safford trading co. I called millennium and they said really the only difference between that and the 220 besides being over 100$ cheaper was that the 220 had a double ladder and needed 2 boxes for shipping. Same seat and platform and all.
Went with the millennium due to the high grade steel they used as it floods every year down there so needed the quality.

We’ve killed a lot of deer out of our 17’ ladder stands with a bow/crossbow. Good luck.
