If you are hunting private landmultiple hang on standsare the ticket. You can buy good ones for $50, steel are good aluminum is not needed, 15lbs toonot real heavy. I use tree steps as well. Over the yearsI have collected many steps and stands.I like to hunt from trees where there is cover, usually not possible with a climber. I like to have everything ready and in place whenI get there to hunt, right down to the quiver mount. If I have to I can movea hang on pretty quick.
