I have 1 hang on and 2 climbers. I hunt public land, so I use my SUmmit climber and like to remain mobile!

If you are talking stand sites, I have about 3 or 4 that I use regularly.

Six ladders that never come out of the woods. 3 hang ons that I haven't used since I purchased the ladders.

8 permanent, 1 hang on, 2 ladder. In about 200 acres. Depending on the wind 4 are always used. With good sucess. Getting a summit climber this year.

Not quite...

I do have a bowhanger in a tree in numerous states.

Nothing like taking down your stand for the last time in a NR state and then looking up to see your bowhanger is still screwed in 20 foot up.

Buh-bye bowhanger.....

I have 6 in three locations, 2 each for different winds and keep a stick ladder with a light weight hang on in my truck for last minute moves. I found out years ago having too many made for indecision on which one to hunt. I also have a 3 legged stool and will go to the ground if i need to.

One hanger, one climber, one pop up blind and two box blinds on 100 acres.

I have one Summit Viper Climbing stand that I've used for several years. I normally pack it in and out after each hunt. I hunt only public land, State Management Areas mostly. Its tough to have to do this all the time but it helps when your mountain bike has a tree stand rack welded to it.

I have two 4x8 box stands that are 16' tall and have "stairs" going up to them as well as two 2 man ladder stands. I also have a climber that I haven't used in a while. oh, I almost forgot about my ground blind

.
I recently found a machinist that is going to help modify my climber so that I can use it without having to pull the bottom platform up with my arms instead of my feet. I wanted to get one of these but the Texas hunt has put a bomb in my savings account

Last time I checked I had 3 ladder stands and one hang-on, plus one two-man ladder stand and two blinds on the farm I hunt (and one climber in the landowner's garage - he uses it more than I do.

) . All are at good locations and I leave them year round. I usually hunt from a ladder stand if the weather/wind is favorable early in the season, then switch to blinds if the weather is wet or cold. My success rate seems to be about equal either way.
