I would appreciate some of you fella's opinion about treestands. I've hunted 90% on the ground all my life but I have used climbers and ladderstands a little. I sold my climber about 10 years ago but I'm considering buying a light weight setup. I have never used a hang on but I have read where some folks can set up a hang on as quick as a climber. I like the idea of a light weight hang on like the Millenium M7 for a versatile treestand. I don't want to climb in a hurry and be unsafe but I don't want to spend too much time setting up. This will be an in and out setup every hunt. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks

If you have trees you can use a climber with, use a climber. I only use hang-ons when trees have limbs in the way.

If you know the property and generally where your go to spots are I would say a loc on/ Millenium stands for quietness and easiness. Now a climber would be much more versatile and probably be the best option for newer property

If you going to use it in and out every hunt I say climber but if I leave it in woods then lock on. I use both. I use lock on at my best spots to be quiet entry and exit l use climber to try new spots. I was considering that option too. Use a climber and put up a hang on in the hot spots. My son has an XOP Strike Force but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

How much of a difference is there in time as far as setting up a light weight hang on compared to a climber? Takes practice, I'm horrible at it without sweating to death and scaring everything out of the woods.
If you want to always win, never play anyone better than you!

I bought a Millenium and sold all my other loc ons except 2 cause of comfort and other people can't sit your spots if they don't have one I have a lower back issue that doesn't bother me much unless I'm sitting on a seat that's not comfortable. The Millenium would be good for me. mauvilla, do you use the Millenium along with a climber for other areas?

For some reason i always feel like i stick out like a sore thumb in a lock on. Maybe its becauase i get higher in a climber.
Only accurate rifles are interesting.

83% of all statistics are made up.

From what I'm gathering from reading what folks say that hunt with hang on a lot is..having a system and lightweight stands is the key.

Not much of a time difference, but you will dang sure be sweating your azz off with the lockon route. I tried the light weight lockon route with lonewolf sticks. Ended up going to the x stand. Way way better for in and out bow hunting, unless you're somewhere that doesn't have straight trees (the Midwest). X stand beats any lockon and sticks combo by 7 pounds or more, and it takes a heck of a lot less physical exertion. I prefer to bow hunt out of lockons, but I've finally realized that unless I'm headed to Kentucky, I need to just set them on pinch points and chase the acorns with a climber.

My son got in a new hunting club this year, that's his plan...use the climber and set up hang on in spots that he knows he will hunt a lot. I hunt public land so I'm not crazy about leaving a stand in the woods unless it's a cheap one.

Yes i do I have a old API grand slam I've had forever I will hunt new places with and if I consistently see deer there I will move a set of sticks and a bracket in and hang it if it's towards the end of the year sometimes just keep using the climber and hand a new set summer or fall

I'm using a lone wolf alpha 2 with 4 xop sticks. I've used climbers since I started hunting but going to try the "hang and hunt" method this year. Whatever you get practice with it
