I have ladder stands and four or five hang ons with climbing sticks for each.
I have one hang on and climbing stick from Cabelas that are aluminum.
I hunt my own land, so I place all these stands before the season.
However, I save the aluminum combo as a mobile stand.
When you get used to a hang on, I think they are as fast and quiet as anything.
And you can hang it on any kind of tree.....with limbs or leaning.
I have carried that aluminum combo and my bow/gear more than a mile into the woods on many occasions.
This is the combination I use if I choose to hunt on public land for the day.
I am 52 years old, and I weigh about 210 lbs.
The aluminum hang on is rated for 300 lbs.
The one drawback is the small seat, but I stand once in a while for an hour or so and then sit again. Hey, works for me!
