Which type of elevated stand does not require a tree for support?

Platform stand
Box stand
Blind stand
Tower stand

The correct answer is: Tower stand

The type of elevated stand that does not require a tree for support is the tower stand. Tower stands are specifically designed to be free-standing structures, elevated on a platform supported by a frame that is independent of trees. They provide visibility and a stable perch for hunters without relying on the natural growth of trees for support. In contrast, platforms, box stands, and blind stands typically depend on trees for stability. A platform stand is often installed in the branches of a tree or strapped to tree trunks, while box stands (which may offer walls and a roof for concealment) are generally built around a tree or adjacent to it. Blind stands can also rely on tree cover or other natural features to provide concealment while hunters remain positioned above ground level. Thus, tower stands stand out as the only option that does not depend on a tree for physical support.
