Hang on Treestands
 

In your opinion what is the best bowhunting hang on treestand. I need a very comfortable treestand as I get uncomfortable easy and then cannot saty affeild very long. I want to spend like 5 hours - a full day in the stand waiting for that big buck buti get so uncomfortable it is unbearable for me. Price is no object for this post. I want to know what you think is the best stand I could buy for my comfort issues. Thanks

The absolute most stable, comfortable and rock-solid hang-on I've ever used is the Deer Deck Lite by Summit.

My vote goes to Lone Wolf. Quiet, easy to put up, solid.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

As for pure comfort, Chippewa Stands are tough to beat. They are expensive and heavy, but extremely comfortable. Lone Wolf is going to come in dead last if you are looking to sit very long.

I always think it's important to know what a person has used before they give an opinion so let me say I own a Lone Wolf hangon with the new seat and i've hunted out of several basic hangon's like Gorillas and some very comfotable sling type seats, think they were Loggy's, and sat in several Summit's of friends and at shows for brief period of time but nothing has ever come close to the Millennium by Hunting Solutions - see the link by 'fergyr'. me and my brother -in-law just used them on a bear hunt, and you sit down, and that's it, you never, ever adjust your self the rest of the night and that is sitting for 6 hrs a night.It is easy to hang with the bracket system, has a very large platform, only weighs 14.5 lbs and has been quiet so far. I have not hunted in the cold with it yet. I also put silencing tape on the platform but my Brother in law did not, personal preference I guess. We both shot our bears sitting down and it was not a problem at all. they also have a very nice bow holder you can buy which i like alot so far. over all a very good tree stand in every aspect, there are some things I prefer my Lone wolf for, but in my opinion absolutely bar none the most comfortable hang on. also easy to have multiple stand sites and not have to worry about leaving your expesive tree stand in the woods.

I do strongly recommend replacing there hook on the chain, i think it is a poor choice for a hook design.

That millenium stand looks very comfortable. The only thing I woory about is that if that seat is not detachable, it will get eaten up by squirrels, coons, birds, and so on. I left a seat out once on one of my stands and when I went to sit in it the seat was gone.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

I was looking at the summit stands.and was intrigued by the Copperhead. It looks to have a big seat that is thick and comfortable. Another stand I was looking at were the API stands. Has anyone used these?

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

i'm having a "pro serie Kong" with "confort mesh"made by Gorilla treestand.
I love that treestand. Stable, confortable, easy to set up!

Im gonna try a millenium stand this year in a few spots. I dont plan on leaving the whole thing in the tree.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

I havn't used this stand in 12-13 yrs or so but have used them all it seems since then and this Loc-On and the Loggy Bayou is the best I have found. I use the Loggy (an older model) presently. I just sold one of those Milimium stands. Didn't like the angle of the seat and it wasn't the easiest to hand. Would bind up trying to get that point down in the bracket. JMO through.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

How comfortable are those loggy bayou seats they look like they would be?

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

for the millenium i did spend about 5 minutes shaving a very finy amount off the post and it it slid in very slick with no more binding. I can see that the seat angle may not be to some people'sliking but like I mentioned my brother in law was able to shoot sitting down and he is 6'4" and about 230 and was very pleased.

the loggy's are real comfortable too, though after awhile the bar in front started to bother me, overall very good though.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

Anyone use the API's I have heard good thing s about them but just wanted your opinions on them. Which one is the most comfortable?

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

Lone Wolf Alpha hang on all the way.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

Lone Wolfs are nice stands; I've got an Alpha too. but I sure wouldn't describe it as "comfortable"... ;)

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

When bear hunting in Canada I will put 6 hour days in a stand. I sit in a Millenium. No more fatigue from a Millenium than sitting in your favorite easy chair at home. High quality, quiet, and easy to shoot out of sitting or standing. For hunting around here in IA for 1-4 hour whitetail hunts, I use a Lone Wolf Alpha hangon, a little easier to hang.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

I consider myself fairly strong so hanging wouldn't be a problem I don't think. I REALLY need comfort tho. I just hate having a numb butt. When that happens I figit and movearound a lot, and then I get frustrated by not seeing any deer. Thanls for the reply's.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

I hunt long hours, and demand comfort and safetyover everything else. Gorilla is my #1 choice, bar-none! I've sat in dozens of tree stands, but the Gorilla King Kong Lounger XLS is the best in my opinion. Foot rest, arm rests, great seat, built strong, and very quiet. Over the past 2 seasons, we've switched all of our stands to this model. Can't say enough about them.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

Now I am a lone wolf guy all the way mainly because of the run and gun setups I use w/ it and because it's light, extremely easy to hang, and quiet.

Now if your sole purpose for a treestand is comfort my experiences would point towards a summit. Now mine was a climber but man that thing was so comfortable. It was like a pillow couch in the woods.

I also like the Rivers Edge big foot XL's. They are really big platforms and have a big comfartable seat similar to gorilla. It's like a tree house compared to my LW Assaults. But they are cheap and big.

Other wise loggy boyous got a real comfortable seat as well with lots of soft cushining.

Good luck

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

Thanks, I am gonn look at then all and go to Cabelas then try out the seats and look at the best stands for me. thanks for narrowing the search guys.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

How do some of you guys sit all day without foot/arm rests? I'm tall and thin, and can't get comfortable without those two luxuries.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

I also need those.

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

I've had nothing but good things to say about my Gorilla Hang-ons. I used two King Kong XLS loungers, and had no problem sitting 8 hours. Rock solid and recliner comfortable. Good Luck!

RE: Hang on Treestands
 

I have been at this game for almost 40 years. from pearson hang on's , Screaming Eagle hang ons, the original Loc Ons. My opinion the chippewa is the best I have ever used. They are as sturdy as any other, quiet and the easiest to put up. Add in that you can hang multiple set up's and the choice is easy. The price on them is not easy. ButI think they are worth the extra money.I am ordering another stand and a couple more hang on chains.

good luck,
