This will be my first year of public land of "run and gun", err bow? A year ago, I had a cheap stand stolen off public property and swore I'd never let that happen again. I pack in and out what I am hunting out of. I just added a Lone Wolf Hang on to my arsenal.
Setup #1
Summit Open Shot climber (hard to find trees to use without prepping)
and a fanny pack or camelback pack
Setup #2
Lone Wolf Assault II
Hawk Helium Climbing sticks (have 3, ordered another to get a little higher)
Camelback and clothes strapped to stand
I was amazed at how quick I got the hang on set up the first time a few nights ago. Its incredibly light and quiet. I have all the required parts to do the Versa Button mod on them with rope, but can't convince myself to drill on my new sticks yet. The rope would make them so much quieter to pack and set up though.
Also debating (more than likely next year or late season) setting up a cheap stand, but packing the sticks in and out so there is no access to it.
I'd love to hear your setups and any mods or anything you've done to make it easier. Pictures are even better.
