Types of Deer Stands

[HORTON]

Just curious as to what types of stands everyone uses a majority of the time.

I use a climber about 90% of the time. I'll use a metal ladder stand in some honey holes, that will stay on the tree for a few years. Then we'll usually have a home built ladder stand around too. I have used a hang-on from time to time too.

Too bad you can't list more than I type...I use climbers and metal ladder stands together about 75% of the time and the rest I use a ground blind..many of us I would think use more than 1 type of stand..

 

[HORTON]

Thanks "How2". I edited the question to ask what everyone uses the majority of the time.

 

[Jim Thompson]

All of the above...I chose ladder. Currently I have a couple of climbers, 10 lock ons a couple of tripods and 6 ladders

I dont like being in a tree and i dont like blinds. I dont move that much and sit against a tree or ontop of a boulder

 

[Taylor Co.]

I hunt mostly from climbers because of their portability. I like to move according to food sources during bow season. I do however, utilize several loc-ons and ladder stands.

 

[HORTON]

Dang Jim, I'm proud of you for remembering all those stands.

 

[Thunder Head]

I use a climber and loc-ons for bow hunting. Use a ground blind when i take kids with me.

Horton..........

I picked Loc-on's but I'd say mine time in the stand is pretty much split into 3rd's........

1/3 climber

1/3 loc-on's

1/3 tower stand

Until last year was 80% loc-on and 20% climber.

I voted ground blind.

Last year and I expect this year will be probably 75% ground blind and 25% climber.

I chose steel ladder cause thats what I have the most of, but I still use a climber and lock-on on occasion.

 

[S.Dailey]

I use ladders, loc-ons, and a climber about the same amount of time.

 

[Bucky T]

90% of the time a climber. I own two climbers.

Also have a new lock on stand I'm going to use this year.

Also hunt a couple of ladders I have out as well.

I voted climber, but own and hunt out of all of the above.I like ladder stands during bow season,its just too hot to add any more work to the hunt.

You'll usually find me in a metal ladder. We have one wooden ladder left on the lease that I may hunt a time or two each year.

When I hunt WMAs, I'll hunt from the climber. Unless it's Ossabaw...on the ground then.

 

[Jeff Phillips]

I'm kind of all over the place. I use all except the lock ons.

Most of the time? It would probably be a tie between metal ladders, climbers, and my turkey stool/OTG.

 

[gabowman]

Climber 90% of the time. Built stand 10% of the time.

 

[Tom Borck]

I have 6-8 climbers, half a dozen loc-ons, 4 tripods, half a dozen leaners, and two tower stands....so I use them all. But, I use my climbers the most.

 

[SouthPaw Draw]

Majority of time I use my API climber, but do have several loc-ons that I use also.
