To avoid stand theft this season I am going to set up about 6 different locations with the EZ Hang hook system for the hang on. I will leave the hooks in the trees and bring my stand with me to whereever I choose to hunt on that given day. This will still give me the flexibility of multiple stand locations, with the bonus of still being able to hang a stand quietly. (I love this system by the way, I have been playing with it in the pre-season and it is real easy to hang the stand once the hook is up)

So, I will still need to carry in either steps or sticks plus the stand. I have manyscrew insteps, maybe I will just leave like three or 4 steps in the top of the tree and carry in two sections of the sticks. Thoughts?
