As a hunter who spends most of my time on public hunting lands I have found that a climbing tree stand offers many advantages over stationary stands in this type of environment.

Summit Viper Climbing Tree Stand, Climbing Tree Stand
Climbing tree stands are convenient when
hunting on public lands.

  • A climbing stand allows you to quickly and quietly change your position in the woods when the weather patterns change.
  • These stands allow you to move to another location if your space is suddenly invaded by other less than caring hunters.
  • There is no need to worry about your stand being sat in while your are away.
  • A climbing stand will not end up being stolen from a tree as you will take it with you each time you leave your hunting area.
  • Climbing stands enable you to hunt in many different locations throughout the season which allows you to change your strategy as the deer patterns shift from early season, to the rut and on into late season.
  • A climbing stand can be positioned in the right tree at whatever height is necessary and moved up or down accordingly with very little effort.
Although the price can seem a little steep, a climber is the way to go when hunting public lands.  I use the Summit Viper SD Climbing Treestand which can be seen in the picture above.  This climber offers many high quality features that make it my go to stand.

  1. Staying atop trees in Hunting Season
    Many people have ideas on where to settle, as they set up a place for the lookout, in anticipation of being able to target and shoot their hunts. It can be a gamble, keen senses, educated guesses on the areas, and some luck, in order to be able to catch the target that they have been eyeing. Some people chose to place themselves atop a tree, setting up tree stands, and this may also be a very good idea on where to settle. First, it secures your location, and you can travel easily from location to location, if you are unhappy with your initial chosen area. You will also be able to get a wider view of the landscape, as you are able to see from a bit of a higher perspective. Finally, it also secures your hunting location. As this tree stand is considered your property, no one will have the ability to ‘steal’ your spot when you are not around.
