We have cut a few outta trees.
I cut this one out this year. I know where at least one more is on the property we hunt. But don’t think it’s coming off that tree.

You can date that Loc-On treestand by the Trebark fabric camo seat. Trebark camo originated back in the mid 80's.

I owned at least two of those things. Replaced a couple of seats. Those fold out tubes put my feet to sleep but they folded up nicely to stand to shoot.

I have several that I’ve replaced the seats with plywood and a cushion. Most of mine have the metal supports instead of cable.

For us larger types, no thanks..... :ROFLMAO:
I ain’t no lil feller…for those of us the grew up standing in the V of a split trunk tree or sitting on a limb, them tiny loc ons were Cadillacs 😂

That is an awesome walk in afternoon quick setup that I have one and still use today. I believe that locons were actually built in Greensboro?
I have a gorilla stand like it and would love to find a replacement strap for it but obviously they aren't around as well

I've got a Spirit with a speed hitch rope in the garage that I used for setups way back in the woods. After one of my LEM's got gone, I'd take the bottom few steps out and carry the Spirit in & out on every hunt. I've killed 3 of my to 5 biggest bucks from LocOns and the other 2 from a Cadillac and a permanent tripod stand. Switched to Cadillac stand years ago and haven't thought about going back.

Never had one that old. But one of favorites I had that was stolen was a muddy bloodsport. Wish I could find another.

That's a heck of a find for $20👍I remember them. I think Loc on made a climber with the same seat set up and a spring steel band that went around the tree.
