Did it land there? Where did you end up?

Looks like a stand that Guntersville Fab built/sold back in the late 80s/early 90s
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Based on the back bars and the platforms, it looks like an old API. I still have several APIs from that era )late 80s-mid 90s or so) that are still usable. They are different models though. I wouldn't have ever bought one like in the pic.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Looks like a stand that Guntersville Fab built/sold back in the late 80s/early 90s Those were Treemasters. I've got 2 of them and they don't look like that. They had plywood floors. They may have come out with a model later that had an aluminum slat floor but I have never seen one that did. Was Guntersville Fab the same as Guntersville Sheet Metal? I never did know where those stands were built.

Definitely the predator. Bulky to pack for sure. How do they climb? It needs a new seat sling. Without a doubt, that is an old API Predator. AKA "Dreadator". They are a pleasure to sit in. It is the only stand that I remember sitting in from before daylight until after sundown. But alas, they are a pain in the @$$ to carry, set up, and take down. It requires 6 pins instead of 4. How do I know this? Because I still have my Dreadator. I usually put it on a tree at the beginning of the season, and leave it there until at least Feb, 1st every year. Oh yea. How do they climb? You need to face the tree and flop the hard bottomed padded seat back behind you, also the sling that it rests on. Then stand, sit, stand, etc, to your hunting elevation. Then backstep over the bar that you sit on while climbing, then flop the seat and sling back over and turn around and enjoy the hunt.
