I need a cable that cant be cut with a hacksaw or bolt cutters. For years i had the same old Masterlock and bike cable which just had a loop on both ends of the cable. Well i went to move my stand a month ago and put the key in the master lock and it broke clean off in the lock. I was thinking just great now what. I tried to use needle nose pliers to grab the key but it was to far inside no luck. So i took the hacksaw out thinking ill have to cut the lock. well i couldn't scratch the lock with the blade so i moved onto the cable it took me literally 10seconds to zip through the metal wire of the cable. Alot of good my big Masterlock was when the cable was a joke to cut through. If someone was stealing my stand it would of been easy as pie for them.

So what do you guys use to lock your stands up with. should i get a big ole hunk of link chain or is there an actual tree stand cable that is cut proof. I hunt private land but stands have gone missing on the property before.
