Abstract: A folding ladder tree stand comprising a ladder having a runged upper section and a separate runged lower section; a coupling mechanism for pivotally coupling the upper section with the lower section such that they are generally alignable for placing the ladder in an operable configuration and proximately positionable for placing the ladder in a stowed configuration; a collapsible chair pivotally coupled to the upper section of the ladder and positionable above the upper section in an operable configuration and proximately positionable therewith in a stowed configuration; and a securement mechanism adapted for securing the chair to a tree with the chair and ladder in operable configurations for use and for securing the chair and ladder in their stowed configurations for transport.
