are you looking for a hang on or a climber? Summit climbers are to beat for comfort i have not used there hang ons

Screaming Eagle , hands down , Fred

You guys that hunt from dark to dark in a Lone Wolf hang on or a Screaming Eagle are TOUGH buggers...

I've done it, but I would much rather sit in my Summit climber if I know I'm going to be there all day.

I am with you Steve O ! That Viper seat is like a lounger ! I did hunt 14 hrs out of a Gorilla King Kong one day on a paid guided hunt in Illinois and was just fine. However, when you are paying to hunt and watching 30-40 deer during a sit like that it makes those 14 hrs go by quick. Especially when several of those 30-40 deer are 140-160 P & Y's !!!

Summit viper with the additional foot rest. I have spent many dark to darks in it.with a pee bottle and never decend during light. set it about minumum for you feet to be comfie and when i stand up to shout the bar is out of the way (i am 6foot).

You dark-2-dark and guided-types are nuts. Ate up.

I respect your commitment and investment, and admit I must be spoiled in some fashion, but wow...I can't bring myself to hunt that hard.

I'm only in it for the meat. Anybody ever figure out how to prepare antlers for the table, and maybe I'll change my ways.

Hang on, Chippawa, climber, Lone Wolf.

I'll add an agreement to some of the other posts: while I prefer my tree saddle first, and most any lock-on second just because of the way I hunt, if I had to pick a stand for comfort and still be able to shoot out of it I'd go with the Summit Viper too.

I used one of DW's on a hunt with him and Skyler and found it very easy to adjust to the tree, very easy to climb with, able to shoot even with the bar with the right positioning, I felt very safe, and danged if it wasn't the most comfortable I've been in a tree...as if I were sitting in my den at home.

If I was looking for a climber I'd look at everything else first, then this one last. Bet you'd go with the Viper.

Just to correct any idea that I might be a "tough bugger"...

I said the Lone Wolf would work for you until your eyes closed. For me, that's about two, two and a half hours!

CCWhitetail · April 16, 2009, 11:10:00 AM

I like the ole Lone Wolf with the
flip-up seat. I have not bought
their new one because the seat won't
flip up out of the way.
I have two extra ones for parts.

mwmwmb · April 16, 2009, 11:20:00 AM

Col,
I am just a meat hunter too, I see lots of deer but not always in range. so i just keep on sittin

. But hey, my wife thinks i am crazy also, but she loves the venison

Col · April 16, 2009, 01:39:00 PM

MW,

I can't sit that long. Legs go all numb & tingly after about 3hrs, all the way from ankle to rump.

I try to stand & shoot after that and I become an unwelcome statistic for the State game agencies.

This year, I'm cutting branches for sit-down shots. Y'all done gone and inspired me.

Heh...guess that's what this place is for!

CCWhitetail · April 16, 2009, 02:31:00 PM

I am a dark to dark hunter as well.
Meat or horns, doesn't matter.

Morning Star · April 16, 2009, 06:21:00 PM

My vote goes to the Screaming Eagle design for an all around stand.

For hang and hunt, I don't think anyone can touch the Lone Wolf Assault.

cedar swampman · April 16, 2009, 07:34:00 PM

Been using a Treesuit with Lone Wolf mini sticks(4 of them) for the past 4yrs. I have the recliner strap and the transporter system that is made for it. I sat in as much as 8hrs at a time and experience no fatigue. At 52 i like the fact that I cannot fall out of the tree and I don't have to go overly high either(16ft). To me to be able to brace yourself against the tree just makes your shooting platform that much more stable. I don't mind hunting hard but I like minimal sweat when setting up.

D Harris · April 16, 2009, 10:53:00 PM

If your going to stay for extended periods of time you won't beat a tree lounge regarding staying comfortable. They are the most secure, comfortable stands I've ever used.

WestTnMan · April 17, 2009, 12:49:00 PM

I still think my old style Loggy Bayou with the climbing band is the best. I just bought another one for backup cheap. Once set up it is silent, no bar to get in the way and won't move no matter where you stand on it. I know alot of people don't like them but once you get used to using it, no problem.
