Looking ahead to next year I have a real dilemma. I know this is a good problem to have but I have acquired permission to hunt the adjacent property of the farm I usually hunt. Now I have at least 6 good quality places I could put a stand. One of those would be a ground blind only due to the cover. So that leaves 5 places
On to the dilemma.
I only own 2 ladder stands. I never have used a climber stand due to never having a lot of different stand locations. In addition they just never looked safe to me and I always thought it was the most convenient to just climb a ladder and be ready.

So I think I have two choices. One is to spend a ton of money and set up ladder stands at every location.
Two, buy a climber and get over my phobia of them.
Any suggestions and/or comments?

Get a couple of hang-on's you can find some cheap ones places and I'm sure all the stands are going on sale as we speak since the season is over...this past season I increased my fleet of stands from 2 to 6, two more ladder stands a climber and two hang-ons

Using hang-on stands is a good idea. I will check into them to compare pricing.

Let's talk about climbers a little more. Are they safe? Or am I just scared for no reason.

Ladders are not expensive. They can be if you want them to though. i have 220 acres and put up 6 stands. I bought 3 ladder stands for $89 each at basspro. Now, some people will say you get what you pay for but i have had mine up and they are SOLID!!!! now is a great time to buy stands at dicks sporting goods also cause the season is over and they put everything on clearance.

yah jimmy28303 is right, ladders are not that exspensive and you could use hangons too.
