The NorthStarr Advantage
by Don "Duck" Beckwith

The webmaster and I went to Ohio to hunt with Dennis "Crabby" Crabtree. Dennis has a lot of stands placed in great locations. He uses screw in steps and sets them way apart. 

Lately, my knees won't let me climb to these stands anymore. 

NorthStarr Treestands has a Climbing Pole with sections. It folds up for transport and unfolds to mount to the tree. This year I fastened this climbing pole, the Quiet Starr, to the tree I hunted. Problem Solved.

I put up Quiet Starr climbing pole at Dennis's Hoss Cat Hill stand and got a doe there.

NorthStarr Treestands also had a new and unique ladder stand, the Traveling Starr, that we also took with us to Ohio. It is quick, easy and very portable. This stand is perfect for an ambush stand (when the animals are on the next trail over) as well as for checking out new areas when you want to set up quickly and quietly.

The ladder sections are hinged together and it folds up for easy carrying -- and unfolds when you want to fasten it on a tree. The design is unique because this ladder attaches against the tree. U-brackets fold out on each section which keeps the ladder 6 to 8 inches from the tree so you can get your heavy winter boots on the rungs.. 

All NorthStarr stands fasten with ratchet straps, a great feature because ratchets are stronger and tighter .The Traveling Starr has 4 ratchets, one for each of is four sections.

The thing that makes this stand unique is that it has a fold down platform and a good sized seat built into the ladder. At the top it has steps that fold out from the sides of the ladder to allow you to step on the platform. 

I can carry the Traveling Starr into the woods, fold it out, set it up against the tree, ratchet it tight, pull up my bow, and be hunting in 10 minutes. I can also do this in the dark because the stand is all together and the ratchets are very easy to fasten.

This stand is great for guys like me who are not as agile as we used to be.

I also took this ladder stand on the Ohio hunt, set it up, and saw several bucks.

Thanks NorthStarr Treestands for your great products.
