i am looking for a tree stand. preferably a climber. I am 6'4" 275 and looking for a big climbing stand. weight of the tree stand is not much of an issue because I won't be traveling far from the truck to the stand. I just want one were I know I will be safe and comfortable. any suggestions would be greatly appriciated.

THERE ARE SO MANY ON THE MARKET IT SOMETIMES JUST COMES DOWN TO WHAT SOMEONE THINKS IS BEST. RECOMEND YOU FIND A LARGE BOW SHOP AND ASK THEM TO GUIDE YOU. THIS IS THE WAY I HANDLE IT IN MY BOW EDUCATION CLASSES WHICH START THIS COMING MONDAY. MY REGULAR FIREARMS CLASSES START IN THREE WEEKS. AN ADITIONAL THOUGHT IS YOU FIND A BOW CLASS SOMEWHERE NEAR YOU TO ASK?

Dana has some good advice.
I'd think Bass Pro in Springfield would have a good selection? Just for reference, I pulled my Cabella's, their largest capacity stand is made by Summit, the Goliath @ 350# capacity this gives a bit over a 21% cushion for a 275# person. It runs $300.
Find some folks who know though.
good hunting
