Which do you guys prefer? Hang ons or ladder stands? Just went out today and I think I finally found the bedding area of a buck Ive been trying to bust. Im thinking hang-on for the simple fact that it's a little more "hidden" and not so out in the open.

I have 3 hang-ons and I like them just in case I decide to move in the middle of the season. Can blend them in easier also. I have 1 double ladder and that thing weighs a ton so it stays where I put it the 1st time.

Ladder stands are nice and big and really sturdy, but they really suck to put up. They are really conspicuous too. I prefer hang ons with climbing sticks.

i have two hang ons and like them both. they're a lot easier to conceal and transport. if you don't feel as safe in one, well, thats what safety harnesses are made for lol

For me, I feel safer going up a ladder stand at 5 in the morning. When it is pitch black out it can be reallytricky to navigate a hang-on stand. However, I will continue to use both as they both have advantages and disadvantages.

i only use ladder stands. Years ago I had two hangons move on me and I almost fell out. When I put them up I tightened them as tight as they would go so there wasnt much else I could do to make them safer.
I can put my ladder stands up pretty quickly now and I feel alot safer
Hang on or Ladder?
