With a name almost longer than it is tall, Primal Treestands has released a 22-foot behemoth they call the Mac Daddy Xtra Wide Deluxe Ladder Stand. Durable and solid, this stand offers both the comfort and stability you need when hunting from on high. With an extra-wide, flip-up mesh seat and foot platform, you have plenty of room to maneuver for the perfect shot.

With safety as a top priority, Primal utilizes a grip jaw and truss-stabilizer system, which locks the stand in tight before you even begin your ascent to attach ratchet straps. That stabilizer system also makes the stand easy to adapt in non-ideal locations, such as swamps and river bottoms, and puts continuous pressure on the stand to eliminate squeaks and creaks. Finally, both the flip-down rail and the armrests are padded, to further cut down on noise.

For more information on this massive stand, which measures a full 24-inches wide at its seat platform,  please visit primaltreestands.com.
