An adjustable tree stand is provided. The tree stand includes a seat post having a bottom end and a top end, a substantially hollow outer post, and an inner post disposed within the outer post. The inner post telescopes with the outer post, thereby making the height of the seat post adjustable. A seat secured at the top end of the seat post. A foot rest is secured at the bottom end of the seat post. At least one tree bracket protrudes from a rear side of the seat post. The tree bracket includes a first arm and a second arm angled away from one another and operable to receive at least a portion of a tree trunk in between. A strap may be used to secure the seat post to the tree trunk.
