A hunting stand and access ladder are disclosed for use by a hunter to support himself at an elevated position in a tree. The hunting stand includes a frame with a seat and foot support on it, an upper support means on the frame comprising a pair of prongs and a securing member eccentrically arranged so that the prongs are forced into the tree trunk as the frame is moved from an initial tilted position to a final position lying adjacent the tree trunk, and a lower securing means on the frame for holding the stand in the final position. The access ladder is sectional with each section including a central support tube, a cross member at the upper end of the support tube, a pair of support prongs on the cross tube, securing means to force the support prongs into the tree trunk to support the ladder section spaced from the tree trunk, and rungs on the support tube so that the hunter can climb the ladder section.
