Looking for the best public land way (no screw in) to hang my bow. I’ve been looking around to see what there is. So far I see either people are using a heroclip or the big whitetail dream bow hanger. Whats everyone’s opinion on what to use? Or is there a different method I missed when researching? Thanks!

one strap on step like a squirrel step. you can hang other stuff off the strap as well.
 
A mooring hitch knot using paracord with a couple Nite Ize S hooks. Tie a loop in each end of the paracord to cinch it down. I like to break off the keeper on one side of the S hook for the bow.
 
Tethrd makes a good one. Check it out. Also check out the Heroclip from REI.

Niteize CamJam XT with a modded tool belt hook. Very light weight and packs anywhere. I like the hook because of how large the opening is. Can hang my limb on it no problem.

I made myself one from paracord sheathing and knitting needles that is light, strong, quiet, and holds the bow out a ways from the tree. Here is a link to my DIY which has photos.

DIY bow hanger

Here is my lightweight bow hanger solution. I made it from paracord, an aluminum knitting needle, some spring steel from old style windshield wipers and a wee bit of tubular webbing. It weighs in at 24 grams plus the weight of the length of paracord you use to attach it to the tree. With 12...

Is it necessary to use a whoopie sling, or can any old rope around a tree get the job done?

the whoopie is nice because you can easily adjust it to the exact length you need to get around the tree. It works very nicely. I have been using this for two seasons. Plus, you can use it as an aider in a cinch, or a a spare linemans belt, should you every drop either one :)

I have whoopie slings stashed everywhere. One or two in my pack, and one or two in my pouches.
 
I am not a fan of the hero clip. I like the hooks on the HMS gear hanger. I modified the strap to work with a ghook and added some kydex jhooks from dano for accesories
 
This is what I use.

I place one hook to my right, one to my left and one on the backside of the tree. I am right handed so my pack hangs on the hook to the right. The hook to the left and backside of the tree I hang my bow on. Its nice to have 2 bow holders when I am walking around the tree on my strong side.
