Treestands for a crooked tree

Hey everyone, I have the perfect location for a treestand. An old logging road on a shelf, on the side of a ridge. Lots of deer activity. The only problem is there are no straight trees around. There is a good one close by, but it has some angle to it. Enough that the platform wouldn't be comfortable to stand on. I only use hang on stands, no climbers. Most of the stands i have now are API stands.

What all manufacturers out there make adjustable stands for crooked trees?
 
Climax stands come to mind first, but I don't think they are made anymore. The link below takes you to a different manufacturer's version of them, looks very nice, might even be a better product.


Platform stands
 
Can you build permanent stands on that property? Maybe a leaner tree has a good crotch up high that you could build in. I'm sure you have thought about it...just a thought in case you hadn't.

I don't know much for adjustable stands, but I think Lone Wolf has some kind of stand adjustment system.
 
This guy had two Bear River Miles Keller adjustable stands for sale a year ago on the other site I hang out at, jesseshunting.com.

Have no idea if that's still his email or if they're still available.
 
Lone Wolfs work for me like Shredder mentioned. If there's a big tree near the area you are picking to hang, I can get a Lone Wolf set up anywhere, take both straps for top and bottom, can't see how you'd go wrong (maybe also get a ratchet strap).
 
Iowabucks,
They ain't cheap but Swivel Limbs kick BUTT. I used to have one of the orginals from the late 80's/early 90's. Back then, it was just a seat, no platform was offered so you had to mount them over a limb for foot support. Looks like they make them way better now. PERFECT for these situations. I sold mine a few years back on ebay and I'm thinking strongly about getting one of the new ones. Links below:

You might want to look at the Muddy Outdoors stands - they are now a sponsor of this site....very similar offset adjustments to the Lone Wolf.

treestand for crooked trees

the twisted timber treestand would be a great stand, for the spot with no straight trees! They hang in any tree, find the right spot and hunt there secure and level!!! I heard there like the buckfinder stand from a few years back. thanks slick
