climbing tree stands

[quackattack90]

Hi all looking to get a climbing tree stand anybody have opinions on make and models?
Any help would be great.

I have a Summit climber and love it.  I got the back pack model that folds flat and much easier to pack in.  Good luck this season.

I have found climbers are way to much noise for me and work!

Summit: easy to use, quiet and can sleep in that baby!

Lonewolf brand; light, easy to use/carry and most of all....dead quiet in use.

It's designed for a bigger person, but even if you aren't it's more comfortable with the extra room.  My dad bought one just for that purpose, and if I end up getting a new one I'll get one myself.

I have a summit and I love it once its up in the tree, but getting it into the woods/up the tree is an absolute pain in the A$$! I feel like if I want to start hunting around 5 I need to be at the tree 4 hours before. If the woods are silent it is worthless because I feel like I blow out all the animals in the area trying to get it up in the tree. Also its tough to  find a good tree to use it one and you have to limb them before the season starts. Id get a lone wolf or a hang on stand!

I got a summit razor sd coming in the mail,  I sure hope my findings don't mirror your findings.    I suppose it's also where you hunt,  the areas I'm in mostly I can get 30 feet up with little to no trimming.

I plan on using it for predator hunting a lot.

how often do you move your hangers and ladders?  I find it a royal PIA if you don't have them setup a week or two before the season and just leave them. 

If that's what your doing then ya thats the route to go for sure.    I want to move a lot with this stand.

I have 2 summit vipers  Bought used just like the "Classic model. quiet and great stand harder for bow hunting with the wrap around bar but ok.  I have an API Bowhunter that i left at my buddies place in Kansas. I bought it new and i can tell you i didin't like it as much as my summit viper classic. It was too hard to pack into the woods quietly. I found no trick to make is silent like my Summit.. I found that the plastic covered chain on the API was more adjustable, however was much harder to set up than my viper. It was nice when i left it set up in a tree for a couple of days, but that defeats the purpose of a climber.

BTW I think they would work great for predator hunting...
