What kind of stand do you prefer?
What kind of tree stand do you guys like? I like ladder stands. I hunt on private land though. They feel more secure, they have arms and stuff like that to make it more comfortable. I have a Rivers Edge deluxe 15" in the regular size (not XL). How about all you?

RE: What kind of stand do you prefer?
I've always like hang on stands using screw in steps and then strap on ladder sticks until last summer and I blew out my knee. I used old wooden ladders this last season to get into my hang on stands since climbing the climbing sticks was tough on my knee. It's tough getting old....and stupid.
I originally used hang ons since there weren't many trees without limbs and straight enough to use a climber.
I may need a rocking chair this year!!

I like climbers for scouting purposes, but once I've found a good spot I like using a hang-on stand with strap-on steps (unless the tree is too big around, then I use screw-in's). I take the bottom 3 steps off when I leave the stand to help prevent theft. Hang-on stands seem faster to get into without making noise, and you can put them in trees that you can't get into with a climber because of limbs.

Fix/Hang on.... The one I use is a Chippewa made brand, it's light and real easy to hang on to just about any tree I can find. One of the best hang on tree stand I've use so far.
