Climbing tree stands are a great way to move from tree to tree during the season so you can be more adaptable in your pursuit of wary game, especially on public land - but lightweight climbing sticks and hang-on tree stands are a close second. Comfortable climbing sticks enable you to set up silently and get up into your treestand leaving hardly a trace, and many of them are folding, nesting, lightweight models that set up quickly, easily, and silently while only adding a few ounces or pounds to your pack. The fall woods are calling and opening day is right around the corner. Be prepared this season by replacing your aging climbing stands, sticks, and other hunting gear with something newer, stronger, lighter, and quieter.
