What type of stand do you climb using a ladder?

A ladder stand is designed specifically to be used with a ladder for access. It consists of a platform that is elevated off the ground, allowing hunters to have a better vantage point for spotting game while remaining safe and concealed. The ladder provides stability and helps simplify the process of getting into the stand, making it accessible and secure.

In contrast, a hang-on stand typically requires a climbing method that involves attaching it to a tree at a specific height and does not utilize a ladder for access. A climbing tree stand is a self-supporting unit that allows for easy ascent and descent directly on the tree but does not rely on a fixed ladder. A platform stand, while elevated, usually does not specifically incorporate a ladder mechanism for climbing, as it might rely on other methods of access. Thus, the ladder stand is distinct in its structure and method of use.
