RE: When do you hang your stands ?
 
Exclusively from a climber. I "might" hang one lock-on this year.

48 times in last year and I toted my stand in probably 45 times. No problems.

RE: When do you hang your stands ?
 
Took my last hangons down yesterday, I always like to check them over. I'll put them back up August or September.

You guys who leave them up year round be careful. I know of two hunters whose chains or stands broke because of stress and metal fatigue caused by weather and the continuance of tree growth. Both survived, but one of them was in bad shape for several months.

I will begin in early summer, and the goal is to have them all up by September.

To tell you the truth, we leave our stands up year round because we have over 160 stands and it would be too much of a hassle to pull them, then go hang them in a couple months
Wow! Thanks for making me look uber-lazy. I was going to say the same thing about 13 stands:D

I actually am taking them down this year. Well, most of them and I have to hang3 new ones. They will be put back up sometime in August. I like to be completely done at least 1 month out from opening day just to be overly cautious.

When you hang your stands depends entirely on when you want them stolen!

Exactly...especially if you use ratchet straps... tree's grow...puts stress on the straps...they get weathered....you get the picture
