Need your advice brothers...
 
Alright, I'm getting ready to spend some dough and would like your advice. Double Bull or treestand? If you answer treestand, which one? I'm boggled. Thank you kindly...

if you have plenty of tree's then (tree stand) if climber, you cant beat summit vipor or goliath. if hang on, gorilla aint bad. there are alot of good hang ons, some even are adjustable for leaning trees.

I'd pick tree stand. For my money it would be a Lone Wolf. Quiet, packs flat, is light to carry, climbs effortlessly.

I have the hand climber and also the sit and climb. In my opinion the best stand made.


A double bull would really limit your options on where you could set-up. They are probably a great choice for many preconcieved stand placements but would require much more fore-thought.

Plus from an elevated perch you can see so much more..and you really feel connected, yet invisible.

I would rather go with a tree stand. Lone wolf makes a great climber and so does summit. I like the loggy bayou hand on stands.

How high do you need to climb in a climber not to be spotted?

Geez these answers will range..But generally I found I like 15 -18 ft depending on terrain and canopy.

In Mi deer hate blinds, they can work. I find 20+ feet in a tree to be better or a natural ground blind.

Two years ago I spooked a 130" 9 point when my broadhead snagged on the inside of my Ameristep doghouse blind. I was bringing my bow up to draw for what would have been a 20 yard broadside shot at the biggest buck of my life. I vowed never again.

I'd get the treestand.

I'm in Swartz Creek. I have the Doghouse too. It's just not big enough for me. I'm 6'2" 250lbs. I feel like a giant in that thing. I can barely move in it so I can relate to what you're saying. What are you currently using?
