It used to be built stands that I always hunted out of, but in the last few years as I got more serious and aquired more permission to hunt other properties, it has been lock ons.

Climbers are too noisy, too heavy, you have to hump them in, out, set them up, break them down. All making your core temp raise which will cause you to sweat and leave scent. Not to mention the extra noise.

Last year I hunted out of a climber very often, trust me...it wasnt the plan...and I didnt like it.

Not to mention the extra noise. Think you dont make noise ? BS..Things his the stand, you have to climb, things bump the stand while climbing. You pull your bow up, it hits the rail. They are too noisy, even with noise reducing modifications.
I did shoot my buck out of a climber.
They are comfortable, though. And mobile. Once I found a good tree, I left it attatched to the base, all season. If I had aqquired my property earlier, I would have had hang ons all over, like I do this year.
I have 1 ladder that is set up on a GOOD funnel.
I have, man...about 20 or so hang on sets hung already.

NO THANK YOU. I spent $240 on my climber, and I can hunt everywhere I want to. As far as humping them in, setting them up, and taking them out.....Suck it up. It's still not as much work as setting all those stands in the spring.
