I’m not sure about its popularity but like said above. If it ain’t pre set. I’m one stickingYou guys think it's growing in popularity still? Or is it falling out of favor a bit?

According to social media you’re either one sticking or want to be. It’s a direct replacement for the most popular mobile method - climber so it makes since.You guys think it's growing in popularity still? Or is it falling out of favor a bit?
this is basically what i do 90% of the time except i technically use 3 sticks...2 full size lone wolfs and the 3rd is my 18'' stick with platform top step. The first 2 sticks gets me up quick and then i have the ability to 'one stick' higher if needed. its still a nice lightweight and compact system.After a few seasons of three-sticking, then two seasons of one-sticking, I think I'm going to go to two-sticking next year. Just eliminate that first move, get me up the tree a little faster.
In the rut I like to be able to move nimble and quick. If I see action afar, I often adjust to go to it, and I like to make that move as fast as possible. One-sticking is a little slower and this year I hesitated a couple times to make those quick moves and one day missed out on a kill because of it. Two sticks strap to my stand a lot better than three. So I can still be pretty compact. Before the leaves come off it's not rare for me to hunt two sticks high.

I think the buzz has died down a bit. I invested heavily into one-sticking 2 years ago and saw some advantages, but when Tethrd released 1 lb climbing sticks, that pack tightly together, I went back to sticks. With 4 Tethrd sticks I can get into more trees, faster, with less effort. I use a 3 step aider on the first step and get to 20 feet in about 5 minutes.You guys think it's growing in popularity still?

Sold the One Sticking setup for a big loss.
I plan on doing this exact technique next year.After a few seasons of three-sticking, then two seasons of one-sticking, I think I'm going to go to two-sticking next year. Just eliminate that first move, get me up the tree a little faster.
