You guys that want to hunt the Lone Wolf way
Pretty cool video that this guy has put out. 7 minutes and 4 steps are installed. All of you guys that say this is hard and you get all sweaty..please explain to me how you sweat and get hot. I just don't get your logic...also where is all of the noise and issue you all claim as an excuse to not hunt this way....I don't get that either. LW and the portable hunting way....Sweet way to hunt.

RE: You guys that want to hunt the Lone Wolf way
I do not currently use the Lone Wolf Sticks, but who wants to hunt out of "only" climber friendly trees?
I currently employ both fixed stick ladders/hang on stands and my climber. I much prefer walking into the woods and attaching to a safety rope and just climbing the sticks.
The biggest drawback to the fixed sticks is that they are not near as easy to take down and move in on some new sign that you want to hunt. (Too much noise, sweat, and not near as easy to set up as the Lone Wolf seems to be.) This said, I am probably going to get 4 sticks and an Alpha for next season. Use my climber when I feel the need and just run and gun the rest in the thick stuff where climbers just will not cut it. I believe anyone using the technique in that guy's video (through practice), will enjoy this setup more and more. I am going to try it.

that is pretty cool actually quick enough and easy enough, but i would leave the climbing sticks out there. instead of making that constant noise setting up every time.

What an amazing pain in the rear end. Why would anyone want to do that EVERYTIME they went into the woods ?
Wouldnt it just be easier to use a climber..?..Takes 30 seconds to set on the tree and climbing is a breeze

RE: You guys that want to hunt the Lone Wolf way
Thanks for the video Don, that is pretty cool.I've been there and done that.Like you, Ijust don't get some people's logic.
I could set up in that tree 3 times while he put up his climbing sticks.[:-]

There is no more noise using the sticks than using a climber.
