treestand
Elevated hunting seat
A treestand is an elevated platform attached to a tree, used by hunters to wait for game from above.
The height provides better sightlines and keeps the hunter's scent above ground level, making detection by deer less likely.
Treestands range from simple hang-on platforms to elaborate enclosed structures: He climbed into his treestand before dawn.
