Default RE: For you Hang On stand guys

I mostly use a Lone Wolf Alpha and 4 Lone Wolf climbing sticks. I can hang it pretty fast but have come to the conclusion that there is no real need to hang it in 10 minutes so I take my time. Whether it takes 10 minutes or 25 minutes you have still become a "presence" in that part of the woods and it will take the animals (squirrels, birds, etc.) a bit of time to become used to you. Unless it is the time of year when deer (bucks) can be moving any time of the day I just get to my spot and hour or two ahead of the time I expect to see deer movement. I also hunt 90% public land so there are no screw in steps and permanent stands allowed.

I guess I don't ascribe to the notion that speed is essential when getting into a tree.
