Enclosed ladder stand?

[Foggy47]

I've found the same thing to be true. It's a blind in of itself. I felt big and bulky in it the first time... but deer, yotes, and bobcats seem to completely ignore it. And since you're inside it you can move all you want without detection. I've found I can look down into it to play on my phone and not risk the light or hand movements being seen.

I only use mine if it's in the teens or colder, but when I do it's very nice and warm!

A freind of mine used to take his sleeping bag with him on stand. Most often he would pull it up just above his waist. He said he was toasty warm in cold temps.

I used to do that for my daughter when she was little. Problem was, she would fall asleep!

You could bend some cattle panels into a upside down U attaching them to the rails of the ladder stand. Cover that with a tarp or similar.
