Portable Deer Stands and Hunting Blinds are necessities for successful whitetail deer hunting and turkey hunting. We have tried a lot of different deer stands and hunting blinds but the best we have found come from API and Primos.
The API Grand Slam Supreme is a ridged stand that does not flex as some light weight climbing stands can do. It is comfortable, can be adjusted for bow or gun hunting, and is as safe as a tree stand can be. The Primos Double Bull Blind gives you plenty of room for two hunters, 180 degree view and is tough as nails. Below you will find specifications for each of these great products and a video of just how effective a hunting blind can be for turkeys.
The ODHA rates API Grand Slam Supreme as the #1 best Deer Hunting Stand on the market. Quiet, safe, comfortable. Here’s the climbing stand that outsells them all, combining the superior API Power-Gripping Chain technology with truly unbelievable comfort. The Grand Slam Supreme has a super-quiet, triple-cushion seat that folds out to make a padded back and headrest. Combined with the padded armrests, this treestand has set a few standard when it comes to comfort.
