This is a question for guys using hang on stands or permanent stands on public land. How many stands do you have set up in the woods, over how wide of an area and how often do you hunt them? I have two stands set up in the woods right now about a 1/2 mile apart. I have only hunted one of them since 6 day.
How many stands do you have?

I have a climber and that's all. I never leave it in public land and not even on my private land. I trust no one! My buddy has 3-4 ladder stands and we have those on private land, but I still wonder when they might be snatched...?

Great stealthy stand, real solid once you put your weight on it. The seat is real uncomfortable. I use the Millenium for all day sits.

1 climber, also tried the lone wolf climbing sticks with a loc on this year but the climber is much easier up and down.

Keep in mind how many people will be using these sets and how much time you have to hunt: you may not need so many or you may need more.

Between me and my buddy (we share stands), I have 4 loc-ons, 3 ladders and about 3 spots we use climbers in (tree varies on wind) on 3 different properties.
Startin january that'll increase by 2 more loc-ons and 2 more climber spots on 2 more properties.

I have 2 right now. An api loc on, and a tree saddle, which is what I use 99 percent of the time. Places where i can use screw in steps, I set up the tree and leave the steps in the tree, taking out the first few steps. State forest I use climb paws with the saddle, light, quick and easy,. I can shoot 360 degrees with the saddle, and use the tree to hide behind if need be. I only use the api if im hunting a remote area in the pines, it feels like it weighs a ton when lugging it around, but it is comfortable.
I was actually looking at the tree walker climbers to have another option. But thats it. If I do leave out the api, its locked down to the tree, if someone wants it there going to have to come out with a blow torch. Thats why I like the saddle the best, its only 4 pounds, I can wear it in, and it goes in and out with me.[patcheye]
