5 stands...
1 climber i used pretty much exclusively...2 cheap lockons..did hang and hunt both 1 time each this year...and 2 ladder stands ive never used. dad bought us the lockons and ladders years ago to hunt at my buddys camp...but we never used them. i used the lockons this year...but am still up in the air about if they were worth the hassle, uncomfort, etc opposed to the climber...i take the bottom 5 steps out with me..keeps honest people honest...and keeps kids that may find them from climbing them and possibly getting hurt or something...so really, i still have to "set up" before i just climb in...
i'll continue to use them..but just in areas i have to sneak through brush to get to the stand(dont want the climber snagging on everything making racket) or areas i can hang them, but not use a climber(trees all crazy and twisted, or branches etc...

I like lock ons and ladders for close to the bedding areas so I can slip in super quiet without the noise of a climber.
For my property, I have the following:
2x climbers
2x ladder stands
9x lock ons
1x permanent pressure treated condo
2x hub style blinds
I haven't ever hunted in 2x of the stands....they have been up for 3 years now. Someday I will but there are so many good spots and only so many days to hunt. I haven't hunted quite a few of them this year yet, and some of them for 2 years as well. [:-]
