[QUOTE="bowriter, post: 3407701, member: 1518"] For about 20-years, I was a total climber man. Then I started using a variety of hang-on stands and seldom used a climber again. Advantges to a Climber: 1- Mobility. 2-Prevent theft 4-If you are real good, you can move the stand in minutes and be in the exactly right tree. Disadvantges to a climber: 1-Weight when carrying 2-Noisey and time consuming even for the best users. Advantages to a Hang-on: 1- Can place on almost any tree-I have some that hang level on leaning trees; can be placed above limbs in good cover. 2-Silent entry. Once the stand is placed, you can slip in quietly and be up the tree in seconds. Disadvantages to hang-on: 1-You are locked into that tree once placed unless you take the time to move and re-hang. 2-If you leave in woods, easy to steal. Today, 75% of my stands are ladders and 25% are fixed position or hang-on. In terms of killing deer, the ladders win by a huge majority but that is placement, not stand type. In terms of comfort, they are equal. I terms of silence of movement in the stand, equal. That is my evaluation from the days before we had any stands of any kind except fallen cypress trees. [/QUOTE]
