Some of you guys may be to young to remember the Baker stand. It was a death trap and an accident waiting to happen. That is what I used back in the day.I am now 48 years old and I lost my nerve and confidence in useing a climbing stand about ten years ago and would only hunt out of a ladder stand or a shooting house. My success for harvesting a big buck was very limited. This year I won a Summit Goliath dead metal stand and I love it. I am 6 foot, 225 lbs and have plenty of room to move around. It is very safe and made in Alabama too. Ya'll please always wear a safety harness no matter which stand you use.
