I don't hang stands any longer due to the fact that I hunt public land. If stands are hung in Minnesota, they are up for grabs, and you can find someone in your stand and not be able to do a thing about it. Stands also tend to disappear on public lands.
Because of this, I use an Equilizer climber stand. I pack it in and out to each spot. Before the season, I trim shooting lanes, and I'm set. It's easy to set up, and gives me the advantage of the surprise attack.
