I hunt most of the time out of a climbing stand. I have a couple that I like real well. I am looking into getting some lock on stands though. During some post season scouting, I've found some really nice areas with a lot of good sign that don't have any good climbing trees within bow range. If the 'ole lady will come off some cash, I'll be getting a few lock ons for next season. If not, I guess I'll be forced to make my own or hunt on the ground.
