I just don’t know what I want for climbing

[jsthunting]

I’m from the hang and hunt way of hunting so sticks are a norm. I bought WildEdge and I’m just not sure about them. I have Hawk helium full size sticks and XOP sticks. I used to own Muddy Pro sticks years ago. I’ve been looking at beast sticks but not in stock. I just don’t know what I want. I plan on putting predator platform in back in a outside cinch down pouch.

I use a treehopper hand drill and bolts. Love it. 3.5lb for the drill and 18 bolts

The WE stepps take a while to get proficient on a variety of trees, once you get it down they’re sweet. For public land run and gun they’re tough to beat.

I use three hawks with an aider, gets me to over 20' but I have grasshopper legs so there's that. Unfortunately you're just gonna hafta keep banging away into you find what works best. For example I though the Cranford steps were gonna be awesome until I tried them and they didn't work for me.

Yeah I’m super comfortable with sticks in general but started saddle hunting to get away from the weight. I chose WE really because of the carry system is compact. I’m thinking of cutting down my Hawks. I guess I will just have to keep trying stuff until I find exactly what I like.

I went through sticks, we steps, Spurs, hand climber, screw in steps, and have settled on one-stick climbing. 2 pounds for one stick, can go as high as needed, climb any tree, no packing back up at end of hunt, always tethered, and quiet.

What I like about Wild Edge steps is they are very compact, easy and solid to climb, heavily limbed trees are not an issue, and can be used as a platform/ring of steps. Once you get the ropes stretched and snap them on a few different trees you really get the hang of it. I can space them over 3ft apart and get pretty high without using any form of an aider using only 6-8 steps.
