Okay, okay.....

I just talked to my ever-so-lovely wife Margaret {she's right here, so if I say anything bad, I'll get beat...}[:-]

That API Grandstand Telescoping combo ladder/hang-on stand is a no go. My wife agrees that since the ladder is directly under the stand, it would be hard to get into safely. Now that I had a long time to look at the photos of the stand and think about it, you all are right....

*sigh*..... Back to the drawing board. I still want a nice comfortable lightweight hang-on stand with equally light climbing sticks. Or, as my wife just said, something fool proof that's quiet - because I make enough noise to wake the dead.. Hey! I think I just got dissed! []

Help me out everyone! 6' tall, 205 lbs, bowhunting for only about 4 years so far. I don't have private land to hook a permanent ladder stand, and don't have the confidence with climbing stands. A nice sturdy hang-on stand w/ climbing sticks that is comfortable and priced right (read: wife approved) [8D] would be great!
