Benefits of technology

[0011] Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a suspended seat bracket hook device as described hereinabove, which enables easy removal of the seat to prevent damage caused by gnawing animals, for example, mice, squirrels, etc.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a suspended seat bracket hook device as described hereinabove, which enables easy removal of the seat to prevent unwanted use by other hunters.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a suspended seat bracket hook device as described hereinabove, which provides special advantages for climbing-type stands. On climbing-type stands, the seat can be removed so that the hunter can have a full view of the base platform while ascending and descending the tree. Being able to see the grip of the base platform makes the use of climbing stands considerably safer.

[0014] Yet a further object of the present invention is to provide a suspended seat bracket hook device as described hereinabove, which enables, on some types of tree stands, the seat to be easily reversed so that the hunter is facing the tree. The tree provides additional cover from game being hunted, and the tree can provide a steady rest for the firearm, facilitating more accurate shot placement on animals being hunted.
