I am planning to let him hunt from a ladder stand with me in my climber nearby. Should I buy the youth size vest style or rig him up in the belt style that came with the stand? He weighs 84 pounds. Thanks in advance for the advice.

It is much easier to deal with than some of the harnesses that come with stands. We mainly hunt out of climbers so I also bought a HSS Rope Style Treestrap to make it easier to go up and down the tree.
