tree stands

Elevated hunting perches

Tree stands are elevated platforms used by hunters to gain a vantage point above their quarry, typically deer.

They attach to tree trunks or branches and come in various styles—climbing stands, hang-on stands, ladder stands.

The height provides better sight lines and keeps the hunter's scent above ground level: I set up my tree stand before dawn.
