Types of tree stands make any difference?

[Uhnalvhi Alisoqualvdi]

Lots of climber fans here - but to answer your question, first, what do you mean by a "regular" tree stand? Lock-On? Climber? Plywood box? Anyhooo, I have a Loggy, love it dearly, but I cant count how many times Ive been busted on that bare tree even at 20+ feet.

Ladder stands are about the same, you protrude way to far from the object your trying to become.

My solution was a Lone Wolf Lock-On and Climbing Sticks (get the extra 3ft extension). You have a TCW of about 20 couple pounds total but Ive compared the speed of this setup to that of a climber and there isnt much difference at all, plus you can lock that puppy to the tree if ya plan on huntin more than a day; tree selection is no longer an issue with this setup and we all know concealmeant is everything. Another plus is the climbing sticks actually attach to the stand when being transported - very silent, flawless system if I might say so. A bit pricy but it'll be your favorite!

Good luck
