Why are stores dropping Gorilla Treestands?

Cabelas and Walmart no longer carry Gorilla stands. Checked Bass Pro, Dicks, and Rodgers and they don't carry them either. I even looked on the Gorilla web site under dealer locator and it came up blank for the KC area. Is there a reason no one sells them anymore?

I have 3 Gorilla stands and really like them, I need a cheap stand for a spot I'll only hunt if we get a south wind in late October and November, guess I'll have to go with my second choice.

I bought some on clearance in January like that. Padded arm rests and saddle bags, a nice foot rest and a sling-style seat. Heavy as heck though.

I have four that are probably 10 years old. 3- old chain on stands and one silverback (the tiny one)....they are my favorite stands. I have a lone wolf and a muddy and I take that little gorilla for hang-and-hunt trips every time. Sad to see them go.

It is hard to sell when Big Game and others are sold for a lot less and most retailers are looking for buying the most they can for the buck. These days it is all about selling products when they no longer sell enough they move on. But that is just business. If you are looking check out Big Dog Stands You can find them sometimes at Menards. It is another brand you don't heard much about. I have a Strongbuilt but they are no more as well. Most are now made outside the US and the few that are made here cost a bit more like Family Traditions Treestands.
