Just curious what peoples thoughts are about when is is to late to get up in a stand? Juggling work, kids, life I sometimes can’t get up in a stand in the evening until about an hour before sunset. I was wondering if this will mess with my other hunts in the area where I do have more time. My thought is even if I don’t get anything it is still nice to get some stand time when possible. What do you think more harm than good?? What is the cutoff between going and not going for you more experienced hunters?

I’m in a hunting lease and the terrain is huge and rough (3500 acres). I have a SxS and I was wondering how you guys keep your clothes scent free if you’re in a similar situation? Last year I only had a 4 wheeler so i had to put my clothes on outside the truck and ride in and I think that hurt me…I can put them in a tote but which tote would you guys recommend? I’d like one that actually seals.

I know there’s been a few threads here on climbers and I’ve been doing my research on them. Got the opportunity to hunt a great piece of private up in northern Wisconsin. Went up there last year to do a short hunt and noticed a lot of birch’s, oaks, and pines that would be perfect for a climber. Basically a weekend hunt here and there, probably sitting all day….being 6’1" and 225 lbs., I thought a nice climber would do the job on this property. Was trying to decide on the Summit Viper or the Lone Wolf hand climber combo 2. Any other stands that you feel would be worth looking at, please let me know. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I am looking to mount my bow press (bow time machine) to a tool box / cabinet and was looking for ideas on size and set up. if you have something similar could you post up some pictures for me.

Guys I recently bought a realm x but none of my kick stands for the wide limbs of the x,
What is everyone using on there’s?

So when I was younger and wirey I had no issue setting sticks or steps as high as I could then hugging the tree to get into the stand which I placed above my last stick. Now that I’m older and wiser and don’t bounce like I used to, I always want a good handhold or two to get into my stand. There are some trees where I want to be as high as I can be and don’t want to carry an extra stick. Anyone come up with something different to help get into the stand?

I use lifelines so was thinking about maybe some kind of aider tied to the prusik knot or on the beaner.

I know it’s a very general/generic question, but what do you consider the optimum height for bow hunting? I ask because I haven’t bow hunted much…hoping to get more into it this fall. I have always primarily rifle hunted, and typically climb 30′-40′. I just bought a LW Alpha and four LW sticks, thinking I’d give lock-ons a try, and I realize I’m not getting near those heights without more sticks. So for BOW hunting…..what’s the "best" height?

What pack does everyone like either back pack or waist pack. I have a hard time when I take my climber.
