I have no idea. Seems like those states would be a huge chunk of business on hunting sales.

I put all of mine out so I can have options if the wind isn't in my favor. I always have my climber in my truck in case I need to pick elsewhere because of other members beating me to the signing board and the wind doesn't favor my other picks. I prefer to use my lock ons when bow hunting.

Yes but not all at once. My stands stay on the tree all year (except for climbers and millenniums of course). It's too much effort to take them down and put them back up each year. I just touch up with paint, replace straps as needed, etc.

Not typically, but I have before.

All lock-ons, no climbers for me. I have a Gorilla Baby Gorilla (think it's called), 2 old school Loc-on stands, a couple Big Game's (my fave), and an Ameristep lock-on from Wal-mart that was $35. I typically set out about 2-3 stands that I leave during the season (usually my bigger ones), and then use my small Baby Gorilla and/or Loc-on's as "mobile" stands to setup & flash hunt out of and then take down & put back in my shed.

3 LW Alpha & 3 sets of sticks
1 LW sit & climb wide climber
1 Summit Goliath BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER HEAVY
1 big dog tripod
5 15 or 16' ladder stands of various manufacturers

I'm biased towards Lone Wolf due to light weight and handling 350 lbs plus being made in USA. The mechanism in Goliath that keeps your feet in climber is flawed imo. I'll gladly pay more for LW quality.

I like my lone wolf loc on, but that skinny seat needs to have more cushion

7 two man ladder stands that never leave the woods
1 single ladder (It is Cody Palmers whenever he wants it)
2 summit Climbers
3 lock-ons (Only one is out in the woods)

I love my Goliath

3- old style Cougar Claw
3- olman grand mv
All climbing stands .I don't leave the on the tree .But they all get hidden close to where I'm going to climb. We walk to far to carry them in and out every time.
