Climbing Sticks

tkstae · 11-14-2006, 01:39 PM

New to the forum and could use some advice on climbing sticks. Thinking about the Summit Bucksticks or the the Lone Wolf climbing sticks. I try to hunt from the 20ft. level and it's hard to find a good tree in the right place for my Summit Climber sometimes. Thought about going to portable sticks and a hang on stand when needed. Thanks for any help.

Never used them but they look like they would do the job. I really do not like hanging stands but if you used one the sticks should work great.

I have a 16' Ameristep climbing stick i used with a loc-on stand. Its ok but i replaced all those quick clips with bolts washers and nuts and put the tight on them. I don't like the play in stick, makes my bottom end shake like i were passing peach pits![

Thanks for the help guys. I have a 20ft. Big Dog climbing stick that is great for a stand that I leave up and locked into place on a piece of private land that I hunt. It weights 25 to 30 lbs. Those Bucksteps or the Lone Wolf Sticks are only7.5 to 10lbs.I plan on using them on public ground were ya can't even smile for fear someone will steal the goldcrowns from your mouth, so the stand and steps will have to be removed at the end on each hunt. Sad but true. Where have all the sportsman gone.
