I am adding 6 new loc-on treestands to my aresnal this year, giving me a total of 10. I use climbing stiks with my old stands. I hunt 20' to 25' feet up so most climbing stiks do not reach that height. I am going to purchase 100 tree steps but I have not had any experience with them. I have read to use a cordless drill to drill a pilot hole for the steps making installation much better. I have narrowed my choices down to 2 models from Ameristeps. The Grizzly or Compact Double-Fold Tree Step. I can get the Grizzly for $1.50 a step the Compact DF for $1.65. I am leaning toward the Compact DF because of the big tooth traction.

Any recommendations on which model and and pros and cons using these steps and hww many I would need to outfit 6 stands @25' .............thanks
