Abstract
Abstract A frame has upwardly convergent legs which support a plate on which a seat is swiveled. The frame provides a socket which fits over the upper end of an upwardly disposed tree stump or limb stub. A foot rest extends around three sides of the frame so as to leave an open side through which the hunter may climb up to the seat. Clamps in the lower portion of the frame secure it to the tree member.
