LOL..I knew I would wake up Greg from hibernation
1. I wonder why the states don't allow screw in steps in the trees if it is in fact ACTUALLY good for them to have the steps screwed in?
2. I don't care how EASY a screw goes into a tree..it isn't as fast as one strap around the tree and instantly you have 3 steps. NO way can 3 steps be screwed in a tree faster than one strap thrown around a tree. One strap eqauls 3 steps to a stick. DARK AGES[8D]
3. Sticks make no noise installing. They make noise touching each other while removing from the stand. Screw in steps make noise jingling against each other pulling them out of a pocket or pack too.
4. A lot of hand rotation movement is made while screwing in a step...could be easily seen by a deer imo..much more than installing a strap or UCR.
LOl...fire away guys...convince me to get rid of sticks and use steps. If I used steps..here are the ones I use. easy and fast to install and laborless.


5. I have a land owner that made it a POINT to tell me that he doesn't want screw in steps in his trees.
