re: Do you use a climbing stand

I have a lone wolf that I've used for a long time I use it occasionally, I bought it because of its mobility. Its not particularly comfortable in my opinion. . I have a JX3 hybrid saddle I got a few years ago as well. Its comfortable, little bit of a learning curve. Honestly I usually go and sit with one of my grands in a two man ladder while they are armed with a crossbow. I haven't shot a deer with my bow in 3 years now. Summits are good stands .

Same. I'm 6'1" 225 lbs, so I went with the big one too. Super comfortable. Someone posted a website where they were on clearance here probably 15 years ago and I snagged mine for like $150.
I use it early in bow season when I'm motivated. By rifle season I just go climb in a box stand, especially if it's cold.
As to height, I found I prefer to climb a tree higher on the bank looking down toward a bottom. If I only go up 10-12' I'm probably 25' above the game trail I watch. I have 4 different trees in different spots I use year after year where that set up comes together.

I used to use an Ole Man before I slide about 18 feet down a hardwood.
Switched over to the TreeWalker and feel much safer.

Have used a Buck Shot for forty years. Haven't been made for years. It's a two piece climber that uses metal angles to grip the tree and has maybe 1 inch metal tubes for the frames. You are facing the tree when climbing and hunting. It has a back rest and the frames act as sides. You can stand and sit as you hunt.

If I'm on my lease, then I'm in a box. Most of the tree aren't big enough to climb.
But when I'm on public land, I prefer our ladders until the rut. When the rut hits, I'm in a Summit Viper. I have two so I can lock one to a tree at my honey hole and use the other if someone is parked at that spot. But the Summit is so comfortable, I can and will sit all day during the rut. I can't sit in a ladder stand all day.
