Recommendations For Mobile Hang On Hunting

Cheapest mobile hunting is ground hunting. Very overlooked way of killing deer
If you want stands, AT is probably the place you want to be.
If you're actually looking into a 'hang on' saddle the cheapest route is a sitDrag ( @DanO sells them https://doublesteps.com/product/sitdrag/ ), that you can DIY with a friction hitch and some rope around 8 - 11mm for a tether and linesman and your good to go. I'd suggest using a Rock climbing harness as a back up, though I quit using mine for comfort reasons (NOT recommended).
If you're wanting to stick with an actual stand I'd recommend a climber. if you're dead set on a hang on I'd recommend any hang on that utilizes a hanging bracket. Makes it a lot easier to hang.
No ground blind needed. Just patience and to be still at the right time.
I'm not sure a saddle-hunting site it the ideal place to get input on this, unless you're fishing for a deal on a used stand.
Can you provide a link to an 8-10 lb lockon stand that costs $60?
Maybe you meant 18-20 lbs?
There is an API Alumn on fb market place $50 and another Field Stream looks good $50.
I didn't even know API made an aluminum stand close to that weight.
All of the ones I see online are in the 18-21 lb range.
Do you have a link to the specs or actual name of this stand online? (nothing comes up in search for "API Alumn"
It has been my experience that lightweight and cheap do not go hand in hand... I've went cheap a large part if my life and have come to the conclusion that it is better to go without while saving for what I really want. Ground hunting is grossly underrated. Ground hunting makes you hone so many hunting skills that we sometime take for granted hanging 20' up.
Thought about a saddle? That’s what a few of the guys here use
