ABSTRACT:
A tree stand stabilizer is provided which exerts a downward force on the platform of a tree stand positioned on a tree in elevated relationship to the ground, thereby serving to force the platform into the tree and limit downward movement of the platform. The stabilizer includes an anchor portion connected to the tree, an attachment portion connected to the platform distally to the portion of the platform lying in engagement with the tree, and a connecting member which preferably includes a stay under tension extending between the anchor portion and the attachment portion. The attachment portion is preferably removable from the tree and the anchor portion preferably surrounds but does not penetrate the tree to avoid injury thereto. A tensioning device is preferably connected to the stay to increase the tension thereon and thus pull downwardly on the distal end of the platform and thereby force the platform against the tree.
