A stabilizing device for stabilizing a ladder stand against a tree or post. The stabilizing device includes a first strut having a base member adapted to engage a tree or post and be secured thereto by a flexible strap and a clevis formed at the opposite end of the first strut for securing the first strut to a lower rung of a ladder stand. The stabilizing device includes a second strut pivotally connected to the first strut adjacent the base member and including a clevis for securing the opposite end of the second strut to a rung spaced four or five rungs away from the lower rung of the ladder stand to which the first strut is connected. The struts may include telescoping extension members for varying the effective lengths of the struts. The stabilizing device resists a tendency for a ladder stand to tilt away from a tree or post during an ascent or descent of the ladder stand by a person using same.
