i lay mine across the front rail of my Viper...

i hunt state game lands often and cant damage or drill into trees....so i dont use a hanger when im not on game lands just to stay in the same habit and routines....

i do use a hook or 2 for my quiver and pack when im not on game lands....game lands i have to hang it all from the stand somehow....

have a front pouch on my viper and been ditching the pack till im sitting all day....
