Millennium Treestands…Hunt With The Best

Wednesday, May 20th, 2015

Millennium TreestandsJ&N Feed and Seed carries a full line of hunting products from Millennium Treestands.  We’ve got everything from chairs and benches to hunting tripods and trees stands.  It’s not too early to start thinking about hunting season!

Millennium Stands have long been recognized as the most comfortable stands on the market. From Texas to Alberta and South Carolina to Idaho, outfitters and guides know the best way to increase your chances in seeing a trophy animal is to sit in a prime location from sun up until sun down. Millennium stands are engineered for that purpose – to be the most comfortable and quietest stands period. Every angle, hinge and weld has been tested under the most extreme conditions by the most cynical and scrutinizing hunters. Each Millennium is the best compromise of weight, quietness, strength, security and comfort for its intended use.
