My favorite stands are my chain on. they've been in the same place for several years. not because their more confortable that's for sure. my cobra with that air cushion seat is the best. but because I can ease in to one of my chain on's and never make any noise. I use my climber if I find a fresh scrape, in the pre rut, or fresh rubs in early season, or if I just find an extra good funnel that I know deer are movin through.
