RE: Hang on or Ladder stand??
I too, use a couple hang on stands,8 or 9 ladder stand and a couple climbers.
Just depends on what the tree I want to be in is like and how far I have to haul the stand to the spot.
My main hunting partner is 70 years old and can't climb tree steps, that's why we have so many ladders. Keeps him hunting but I am only 43 and I really like the ladder stands as well. The ones we have are the elcheapo ones from Cabela's, we got most of them when they were like 60.00.
I was at Dick's the other night and they have them on sale for 60.00 right now.
I might buy a couple more(you can NEVER have too many stands!)
I hate hanging hang on stands, big PITA if you ask me.
Climbers only work in some trees.
I will be using all 3 types again this season.
