Is one sticking worth it ? How many are doing it ? Are guys using one sticks like the Big B.O.B or a stick like a Muddy Pro with an aiders and a platform ? Just curious .
Wait. You thinking of giving up the LWHC?Is one sticking worth it ? How many are doing it ? Are guys using one sticks like the Big B.O.B or a stick like a Muddy Pro with an aiders and a platform ? Just curious .
I don't havw a LWHCWait. You thinking of giving up the LWHC?
I don't have a LWHC . Never did.Wait. You thinking of giving up the LWHC?
There's a way to one stick with no slack
There's a way to climb one stick with no slack
Thanks. Exactly what I was thinking.No offense, but all you guys pushing tether climbing, one sticking, ladder climbing make these videos of how easy and straight forward your system is on a tree that doesn't have a branch on it for 30 ft. Show us a real tree that has branches all over it. How many times you gotta go around branches and use a secondary tether. For a couple extra pounds I will take the versatility of sticks any day of the week. I can't remember the last time I have been in a tree that was straight and had no branches till the canopy.
I use my tether as my secondary linesman till I get to where I am gonna hunt then set up. Just quick easy don't have to think about it.
Like I said not trying to bash you but the woods I hunt that system would be a nightmare.
I agree, it would not be ideal for trees loaded with branches. Thats why I hunt with Wei Stepps. They will go were most sticks cant. Don't, think a climbing tree stand would be ideal either. This site is to support saddle hunting, right? (Real tree) demo coming just for you.

The only thing you left out is its 16 degrees and snowing.

Yes, it's about being versatile. Sometimes it's a natural ground blind. Unless you want to sit wait and for a tree to grow.This is why I have multiple systems.
I do hunt/have hunted spots where sticks can't get me where I want to be without a lot of fuss too. With a very large tree and desire to set up very very high. Rope climbing is one option, and although I haven't tried it, it's possible a 2 pole advancing tether method could work.
But in the brush, or the swamp, sticks get it done for me. Though, one stickers/2TC have come up with some clever ways to pass limbs without much trouble.
I think the biggest point I can make is being on a tight line.Rain. Straddling a wet tree is one of the biggest cons imo.

I think this is spot on. The question you really have to answer for yourself before you get too far off into any system is to first determine what the trees in your hunting area are like. If you are new to hunting, go out and scout and really look at the trees. Get a good idea what they are like. I am blessed with a preponderance of tall, straight, limbless trees. That is why I have moved to 2TC from sticks. I plan to keep my sticks because there may be some situations where they will work better. I love Ddrt rope climbing but there just are not enough trees that area suitable for it where I hunt. I do have about a dozen presets in huge red oaks and if that tree gets hot, I am set. I also like to hunt off the ground. It pays to have multiple options aside from your go to method, whatever form that takes.This is why I have multiple systems.
