Hang-on vs. Ladder
Right now i am very confused on which one to buy.
I like how they hangons are very light and small but the ladders seem much easier.
They both are around the same price and i was wondering which one you prefer?
I want the easiesty to set up, most conceled, and the best in different hunting situations.
Brands and models will help.
i dont really want to spend mopre than $100
thanks

DEFINATELY go with the hang on. They are much more mobile and easier to conceal, plus you can get higher in the tree. If you are worried about ease you might look into some climbing sticks rather then screw-in steps.

I really like gorillas. If you are looking to save money i would just go with the cheapest hang on you can get unless you are planning on pulling it often and moving it. If your just gonna stick it in the tree and leave it go ahead and get the cheap heavy one. They also are pretty comfortable

Here is what i do.
No ladder at all I have seen to many older deer look up into them.
When I am hunting bedding area's I use screw in steps. They are less noticible by game and humans

I really don't see how you think a ladder stand is easyer than a hang - on , I know my brother in law has a hard time setting hisladder stand up every time.
In fact he had to redo his quiet a few times because it was so wobblely , he broke his leg two years ago when he was getting in it.
Some how the support brace came loose and whenhetook one more step it fell apart on him and he fell with his leg in between the steps.
He's been hunting in a ground blind since then and vowed never to use a ladder stand again.

I don't like screw in steps. I find them to be a pain and since I have used some of the same trees for over a decade, screwing steps in and out couldn't help the tree. The strap on climbing sticks are my preferred method. Again, I have never had a deer notice them and they are spaced well, easy to climb, etc.
I like both ladders and hang ons. It just depends on the situation. If you want to set up in a pine, then use a ladder. The branches will conceal the ladder and it is a one step process. Deciduous trees, hand on all the way. Just my thoughts.
