I've been looking into the Alpha Hang on for next season. I plan on buying 4 or 5 additional hanging straps and leaving them up in my trees. This way I can go to any tree I want (that I set up before hand) and hang the stand and hunt quietly.

I figure this kills two birds with one stone.

First, I don't have to worry about any one stealing my stands as I will take it down and put it up each time I use it. The hanging strap makes that fairly simple.

Second, no one will have easy visibility to the trees I am hunting from and no one can use my stands when I am not there.

Seems like a good plan that I intend on trying out next year. I just hate worrying about my stands and if they are going to be there when I walk in in the morning.

Just my thoughts on the Hang On model.

P.S.- I have heard nothing but good things about Lone Wolf stands.
