I have three new areas picked out to hang some stands. Areas that I have stands hanging right now I dont want to remove them. Buy three new stands is a bit pricey. These areas are great to hang a stand. I dont know should I buy three new stands or what. As ground blinds go I was thinking about buying one, but they are pricey as well. Was thinking about making one out of wood. What you think?

You can pick up hang-on treestands in the $50-$70 range these days. If you play your cards right you can probably come away with 3 of them for under $200. You know you want to do it.

Why not just buy one, cut spots out in several trees for the one stand and move it when you feel you need to. I only own two stands and this is how I do things. They only take about 5 minutes to pull up and hang.

I bought 2 hang on stands the other day from Cabelas $34.99 each . I will have 11 -12 stands this year .You don't have to pay a lot .

I have two hang ons and a climber, since i have had that combination i have felt much more versatile. but if you prefer hang ons why not get more what the heck!!!

I own 3 hang ons and a climber and was thinking about getting another this year. I'm like deer hunter, I'd like to have a stand in every area.

Wash, I've thought about using your idea but I hunt close to bedding areas and I feel I would make too much noise bringing in a stand and hanging it before I hunt. My solution is that I'm going to build a permenant stand in this one area, there's hardly any trees big enough to build a stand in so it's not like I'll be able to move it.

Why not invest in a new self-climber?

gorilla makes a stand for less than $40, they're not the biggest nor the lightest, but they are well made and durable; i've had one hanging for almost a year now and it has absolutely no rust on it whatsoever. i picked mine up at galyans.

This is just me, but I'd invest in a good climber!

This year I'll hunt from 5 stands. 2 ladder, two hang on and a climber. The ladder stands are close to home and I'll hunt them most. The hang ons are in more remote areas and my climber will roam wherever I go.

I'd also suggest a good climber. You've already got plenty of stands set up. Buy one and get comfortable with it.
