Nice. I'm use to the open front. Summit makes a couple of those. They had one called the Specialist I think but I guess they just made it for a year. Can't seem to find it now. I think it weighed 15 which is still 3 or 4 pounds lighter than mine

 

I'm another one that uses my harness from the time I leave the ground till I'm back down on the ground. Takes a few minutes longer but, hey, what's the rush? My climber of choice? I'm sure this will raise a few eyebrows, but I still use my Loggy I bought in '97. Has the "V" groove with the additional spikes that bolt in to the supports. Why do I still use it? Well, it folds flat, maybe 6" deep. With the hand climber it weighs a touch over 14 lbs. And when the over-center buckle is locked down, it's stable as a rock. Took a ride once in 2009. My own fault. It was raining and I was climbing a fairly smooth bark tree. Dropped about 3 feet, safety harness did it's job. Other than that, it's been a great climber and have killed a ton of deer using it. For me, the Summits are heavy and don't fold flat. Lone Wolf are great, but the climbing belt (basically a timing belt) always felt spongy to me. Mostly use hang-on's and ladder stands now.

 

Well the seasons been open in Utah (and I think some of the other western states) for a a few days now. I have yet to see a picture of something not living in this thread. Disappointed.

I spent the weekend chasing bears instead of hooves animals, but tomorrow that changes.

one of my friends uses that stand they are a lighter than the viper sd.

 

i wasn't too crazy about the belt on the lone wolf when i first got it, but its never given me any problems and it has more adjustment then the cables in my viper. i also like the fact that it folds flat and it's 4 or 5 pounds lighter. its a great stand when you have a long hike to your spot

 

This is everybody’s six months reminder,
Don’t forget to WAX your lines, (and not your servings)

 

After a grenaded a string I wax it after every use. Lol

 

WELLL! Ok then

 

Those suck.

 

I still have till the 30th of Aug til deer bow season opens...I like it opens early but usually dont get anything till later anyhow.

 

October 1 for me....

 

I’ve passed on about 20 two points and 2 4 points (cause no shot) this morningz


Gonna sit in the hay field tonight

 

Friggin hurts too

 

well passing doesnt count... waiting for something bigger?

 

Lots of parts go flying around.

 

Let the younger kids get em and I know there’s bigger in the hay field.

If I’m gonna kill a 2 point it might as well be hay fed anyway

 

Yea

 

wow...
