For the past few years I have hunted out of a ladder stand. Wind direction, height and concealment have been a major concern. We decided to upgrade to the penthouse blind. It has exceeded all expectations. The windows are easy to operate and they open silently. They are sturdy, solid, and built first class. I am so excited, I could even sleep in the stand to be in place at first light and not have to worry about spooking game walking into the stand!
Last year we were watching a buck as he was making his way towards us. Our stand sits down off of a ledge. We were about eye level with the deer and the wind switched. He was just out of bow range when he bolted. That would not have been a problem with the new blind.
