I was looking at the 13 foot rivers edge pack n stack tree stand any one used this stand before?

Posted

I have one and use it regularly. One word of caution though... the foot platform is really small i welded some brackets and installed more wire mesh to extend the foot platform to go further under the seat.

We use them for rifle season in Wi, great little stand for walking in and setting it up quick. Pretty Comfortable as well

Yes, love the stand! Really wish I could buy one more ladder section to get up a little higher though.

Wind up using it more than my climber sometimes.

I have a couple of them and like them because of their portability. Rarely use them packed up as in the picture, but a guy can break them into a couple pieces and and carry them 1/4 mile pretty easy. I move mine a couple hundred feet whole when I need to move them to get a little closer to where I'm seeing deer. The platforms are tiny. I shoot sitting and usually set them up where I can do so easily and turn to my right to draw easily with my right arm. Good luck.

I picked up the stand this last weekend put it together in the garage it took about 25 minutes tried it out in the yard I love the stand its comfortable and it is so portable not going back to a climber

Climber has it's place. Pack'n Stack is sweet though!

Do you think 13' is high enough? I usually like to climb to at least 20. You will have to let me know how deer react to it. It definitely seems like a sweet setup.

Posted

I have stands from 10' to 20' high. Rarely get busted if the deer is over 10 yards out. just gotta move really slow.

39 pounds and it only gets you up 13 feet???

Most climbers weigh half that and you can hunt twice as high.... confused

Not to mention the comfort factor of many climbers as well?

Not to be a Debby Downer, but imo that stand makes zero sense as a carry in/carry out stand.

100% agree. There is no reason to carry 39lbs in and out of the woods. There are many options that are better suited for mobile hunting. I'd suggest a nice climber (Summit or Lone Wolf) or a nice hang on stand (Millenium or Lone Wolf have nice) with good sticks (lone wolf or similar) or tree steps. Both will get you up over 13', with more comfort, and under 20lbs.

*This isn't a knock on ladder stands, they have their place, its just in one spot where you never have to move them.

Climbers are very limited due to tree sizes. Maybe down in the hardwood forests there are many options, but up north finding that perfect tree to set up in with a climber is a lot of times not easy. This stand is perfect for that skinnier aspen butted up to a cluster of balsam fir or that balsam/spruce tree that is perfect for a stand but would require a ton of illegal pruning to use a climber in.

Btw, Menards has the sky raider model, the Big Dog equivelant of this stand on sale for $30 in a flyer in the paper today. You could get three easily 15 foot high moveable stands for less than a $100. Good stuff.

      I moved the clips on the jet needles up to the top groove to lean it out.  This eliminated the mid-range bog and the sled accelerates well even when warm.  The plugs are not quite dark now, but look good.  I'll have to rebuild the Mikuni carbs this summer for the permanent solution.  I'll also repair or replace the primary clutch to eliminate that issue.  Thanks for all of the suggestions.

      No.  I tried posting a 15 second video a while back in the accepted MP4 format and it wouldn’t play.  It sucks.

      On the South Shore...  There is still some ice fishing taking place by some hardcore ice anglers, but most have called it a good year.  For those still getting out on the ice, fishing has been good.  Most resort ice accesses have been closed for the year.  Safety first always.   Ditches are running along the south end of the lake which means water is running into the bays.  Moving water will soon pop open the bays and anglers will be out open water targeting huge pike while they head to spawning areas.  Pike fishing is year round on Lake of the Woods and can be excellent during the spring in back bays. On the Rainy River...  Spring open water fishing began over a week ago and has started out very good with some big walleyes being caught and released!     As of April 8th, the Rainy River is open to the west of Baudette and gaining every day.  With warm temps in the weekly forecast, not only will the ice deteriorate quickly, but the walleye bite should get even better.  Weather forecast in the next week shows 60's.   There are three boat ramps open.  The Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier Access (about 8 miles to the west of Nelson Park) and the Vidas boat ramp just east of Clementson and the Rapid River.     Most walleye anglers are jigging with either plastics or minnows.  Use bright plastics such as chartreuse, orange, pink and white.  Some are slowly drifting a jig with a minnow such as emerald shiners, fatheads or rainbows.     Trolling crankbaits against the current is also effective and will catch fish.  This is also a good technique to cover water if you are not on fish. Rainy River walleye fishing is catch and release from March 1st through April 14th on Four Mile Bay and the Rainy River.  Initial reports for sturgeon are also good.  Anchored up in a hole or on the slope of a hole with a no roll sinker and sturgeon rig is the ticket.  A sturgeon rig is about an18 inch leader with a 3/0 or 4/0 circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers and emerald shiners.  Here are the seasons for sturgeon fishing...   -Catch and Release Season: May 8th – May 15th and October 1 – April 23rd. -Harvest Season: April 24th – May 7th and July 1 – September 30. -Closed Season: May 16th – June 30th. Up at the Northwest Angle...  It has been a great ice fishing year up at the Angle.  While there are a few locals still getting out, resorts have pulled off their fish houses and called it a year.  There are many areas showing open water primarily where there is current.  Progress to open water is being made.   The walleye and sauger season is open through April 14th. Pike fishing never closes, and perch and crappie remain open year-round as well.  You can fish for sturgeon through May 15th.

      If you stop by Kramer lake on 38 north of Rapids someone made a chair out of a hospital commode and a lunch tray. Been there for 20 years.
