RE: How many use lock-ons?
I have 2 loc-ons but do not use them very much. I have 3 buckshot big shot portables and they go everywhere I do. I love the idea behind a loc-on but I move to much. Imay hunt the same general area for a week but from 10 diffreent trees.

RE: How many use lock-ons?
I use my climbers almost exclusively. I have a couple of loc ons up but I always seem to want to be somewhere else. I love using the hang ons because its so nice to just walk in and climb and be done rather than humping it up the tree with a climber. I hunt like 4 different spots but am always sitting in different trees so the deer have a harder time pinning me down.

I prefer ladder stands. Lock-Ons don't offer enough room for me, nor, do I want to drill spikes in my trees to get up 15'. Although ladder stands are nortorios for squeaking when climbed and standing up during taking a shot Lock-Ons will eliminate that. It's a 50/50 decision.

For the moment I use lockons exclusively but will be adding another climber next season. I will still most likely use my Lone Wolf climbing sticks and LW Assault when moving around though.

RE: How many use lock-ons?
I have a climber and a ladder stand, and about 8 lock ons.
This year I bought the Millenium hang on....that thing is IT! It is awesome, and I highly recommend it. Most comfortable lock on by far - you can sit ALL day if you want w/o getting tired or sore. It has aBIG platform, is completely quietand rock solid,and fairly light (14lbs). I don't need to buy another stand now, I'm set. For a $20 bracket, and a $30 climbing stick....I can have another set. Next year with what I have now, I'll have over 20 sets

RE: How many use lock-ons?
I've got 4 hang-ons, a climber (hardly use it), a couple of ladder stands up on private land (year round) as well as a gun stand built into a group of trees that's been there for about 15 years now.....that reminds me, I need to rebuild that sucker again this summer.
