I have the 05 L.B. mega transformer, its nice folds flat for backpacking and its quiet. My wife got me the equalizer for Christmas and I haven't used the transformer since. The Equalizer is awesome. I think I will be selling my transformer! She bought the stand and gave it to me early, about a month before Christmas.

Yep, and she is a 23 year old hottie! Ooops! Did I just say that!?

Tree stand preference is like, you know whats; everyone has their own opirion and preferences. I just bought my first climber, a summit bullet backpacker, as I want it for bowhunting in National Wildlife refuge and state forrest land, and it just does not make sense to lug in a hang on. I will still use my hang on, and also regularly use wood box stands as well. I think that you want options for what to hunt out of, depending on where and how you plan to hunt.

also, with low limbs on tree,you are hidden more and dont have to go as high to hide..
i bought those newladder steps and they are not heavy, to me carry into woods and they go up real easy and then you can lock on your stand..

I cut limbs off of trees on public land, not big limbs or a lot of them, but who will know if someone cuts a few off of a tree that is in the middle of a forrest that is thousands of acres big or along a river that is miles long?

many were turned in for using the screw in little thing that holds your bow..i could not believe the number of hunters this year carrying CAMERAS ..
if no one sees you, your fine but if they walk by and see you cut limbs off or have a gun holder screwed into tree,some are reporting it..
when the cell phone service gets in here in clinton county this year, i believe the dcnr and pgc will be very busy with calls..did you know the wco are also handling these cases of tree damage?

i got an off brand one from bass pro about five years ago now and only gave 60 bucks for it. i still use it, comfortable, and easy to climb. i wouldnt waste 250 dollars on a overated treestand just because of brand names, instead id buy better arrows or upgrade bow or accesories. maybe save up to go hunt something youve never hunted before.
just my opinion i kno alot of you guys gotta have that summit or lone wolf name tag under your feet to feel better which is great. i bought a hoyt vectrix when i was shooting a browning that served me well, simply because i wanted a top of the line "HOYT" . i dont regret it at all but my old bow works fine.

I have an old API "bowhunter". I like climber stands that use the "stirup" typeplatform & the handle type climbers. Whatever you buy you have to be able to set it up in the cold dark woods & climb easily & quietly-That takes practice.
