Rotating basis. I always like an extra step on a stand. And then a couple rustoleum rattle cans
I run about 20 ladder stands. We break them loose every fall in prep for the season. About every 3 years they get replaced.
Each year I rotate 3-4 new stands into the mix and retire a few in yard sales.
side note: what ladder stands you buying currently?
I take mine down about this time every year and check them before putting back up too.
