DRam and Ranger... all the ladder pages are gone from that site, DesertFox was getting too much Moron-Mail from it. I dont leave home without the camo ladder in my truck.
General consensus:
Wooden 6 ft step ladder is best. (no taller than your willing to fall from though, haha )
Most sit, but I stand (like youre paintin the house) and shoot offhand
Michael has a pretty neat swivel seat and shooting rest.
Yes you can shoot a magnum-load shotgun safely from up there. Shotgun is my main arm of choice, so I know...
Make sure the ground is solid before/as you climb up there. Try to back up against a tree if you can but NOT 100% necessary.
Coyotes dont expect you that high up and will run right in under you no problems.
Dont lose the leg-keepers that snap the legs together in the folded position, as they make for quiet transportation.
-===========================
Still the best 25$ I spent on calling gear yet was on that ladder.
