RE: Ladder stands vs hang on stands.
Just got some info from a company called chippewa-wedge loc, they make a unique hang on stand. Kinda of pricey at over $200.00, but you can use just one stand and purchase extra lock on chains for the other areas you want to hunt and then just move the stand. You can place the chains high enough that they shouldn't be stolen (state land)and all you need are a set of climbing sticks to place the stand, very mobile process.
