I have 4 I have to hang this week. Going in the am to look at a new spot and decide if I'm going to hunt it or not. These nicer temps are motivating to get going.

I'd be glad to help you and walk you through the steps if that's a way you want to try to hunt. Lock ons are safe if hung properly they're just out of some people's comfort zones. PM me your number if you want to talk.

Same. PM if you need some advice. I hang several every year and can usually hang a stand in 20 minutes or less. For some quick advice, I use an old lineman's harness so both hands are free.

Hung a ladder stand 2 weeks ago in 98+ heat. Took 4 hours to carry it deep into the woods then set it up. Got so many chigger bites I had to go get a steroid shot. Seriously, nearly 200 chiggers

They make tools for screwing in steps. They make some jig that has a "t" shaped handle that makes it much easier. My uncle has one I used this year. Before that, I used a drill grin

I need someone to come chisel about 10 of my locks out of the trees so I hand them in different locations. I managed to pull one down and it took me almost an hour to get it free. I know it is my fault for leaving them there but it just seems there just isn't ever enough time in the year to do what needs to be done. The next thing you know they are grown into the tree.

It's not as bad as long as you've got someone on the ground helping you. It saves all the climbing up and down. If I had to do it by myself, 3 would have been my limit. I've got a pulley that I ratchet strap to the tree to pull the stands up and hold them in place. That's a huge help. Been doing this a while now and have it down to a science.

Same here. I used to struggle with it but my cousin has a tree service and his advice made my treestand hanging much easier. My cousin is like a squirrel and has so much upper body strength he can do it without breaking a sweat. I on the other hand, break many sweats.
