I use my summit titan most during archery season,so I can be able to move around.But I do leave 4 ladder stands out year round and use them mostly during gun and ML seasons..I never have used a lock on stand,but I did just purchase one for this year..We'll see how I like it..

I use a combination of Ladder Stands, Hang On Stands and a LW Climber. I probably use the climber and hang-ons the most because they are easiest to move and best to shoot a bow out of.

I have Five ladder stands and two climbers. If I had to go with only one it would be a climber because of the mobility factor

I hunt three different places and each one has unique situations. In back of my house I use nothing but ground blinds to hunt deer. When I am bow hunting I use a climber for mobility. But when gun season starts I'm in nothing but ladder stands..
