I have 14 stand out for the season and a climber in the truck
ladder stands are great if you don't have to keep moving them, also the work best if there are no trees large enough for the other two , a 4" tree is big enough
hang on stands are good if the perfict tree has low branches and they can be lower priced ,I picked 3 up on specal for $34.99 each .BUT you will need steps or a climbing stick in ohio you can't use screw in steps on public land
climbers are good on clean straight trees but you are moble ,if you want to move 3 trees down ,lighter than ladders but not cheap
