Seems like a lot of ladder stands are not in stock these days!! At a time when most want to purchase, and get them out in the woods. What gives?? Another Covid manufacturing casualty??

I have noticed lately, that just about everything I search for on Cabela's site says not available only to see the item in the store the next time I'm there. I don't get it.

Otto Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I have noticed lately, that just about everything I search for on Cabela's site says not available only to see the item in the store the next time I'm there. I don't get it.The last one I bought was from Homedepot.Com. Free shipping, pick up in store. Which is better, ladder stands shipped to your house are often damaged or missing parts because the box was wrecked in transit.

Don_C Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I did notice that the Cabelas flyer says sale starts on the 19th. May be worth looking then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jperch Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 I think a lot of goods made of steel that ship from China are harder to come by now. In the past I could usually find good quality, sturdy treestands on sale for $125 - $140. I find that beside the recommended tools for assembly a big hammer is often helpful! They package the parts well but the directions are not perfect neither is the welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chef Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I use the cheapo ones with basic metal seat, no rails and a platform the size of a stamp - but I am also a ballerina so your mileage may vary.It’s funny you say this I prefer them as well and actually find them to be the most stable Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted August 15, 2021 Author Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I picked up the new stand at the Sportsman's Warehouse in Rochester this morning. Nice store.......too bad they can't bulldoze our local Cabela's Cooler store and build one here. Edited August 15, 2021 by Lawdwaz 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny to me how one carry’s crap while the others are still a decent out door store . https://sportingclassicsdaily.com/bass-pro-parent-acquires-sportsmans-warehouse/ Wife and I made trip to bass pro in Auburn Saturday and I picked up 4 ladder stands Big game hunter 1.5 HD , they are rated for 350lbs and bass pro had them for $159 each with pretty good online reviews ( online doesn’t even say they have them in stock but they had 25 or so stacked up in the store ) One just doesn't find a ladder stand rated for 350 lbs with large platform seat etc . at that price. I’m 280 so when fully dressed and full gear Im close to the 300 lb rating on standard stands , I ike a bit more wiggle room on my weight rating. Plus I don’t have moogs ballerina skills ..

Overtkill Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Was thinking about going to bass pro good to know they have stock. Was thinking about climber but with the knee these days ladder would be easier. Thanks everyone for honest reviews and thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
