RE: does anyone use climbing treestands?
I have that stand your looking at.. I really like it, It's about 31LBS witch is heavy for long trips in the field!! (needs better shoulder straps..) It's easy to climb with & the seat is very comfortable, plus the padded arm rest & front rail make it even better Feels safe too.. I took two ratchet straps & snugged it down to the tree & now it's very stable & NO SQUEAKS! I replaced an old lock/hang on stand with the new one, I use the latter from the old one to climb up to the new one.. Much Better!!! I stayed out for 5 hours today in the "HAWK"(for the first time) & could have stayed several more.. In the old one I was ready to leave after about an hour or two tops!!
