Hang on.....

..but don't leave it out overnight.

My reasoning is simple.

First off I would choose the treestand over the groundblind because of the better viewing level and shot opportunities. Second, I would choose the hang on over the climber because there may be a tree or trees that you would like to sit in but cannot because of some branches, etc... If you use a climber then you would have to either prune away and I am sure that is probably not going to be tolerated on the land you are talking about hunting or find a tree that will allow climber usage but in a less opportune location.

A hang on with 8-10 strap on tree steps or two-three sections of climbing sticks would be my choice. The most versatility in terms of putting the stand up with alot of mobility overall and increased shot opportunities.

- not the comfiest or easiest to use but definitely the best option choice considering the situation....if I were in your shoes that is.
