Most of them are in the same price range as well. All of those models have different characteristics that make them slightly unique, some have dual steps, some have longer or shorter length of sticks, etc… although I only tested the Lone Wolf one, I am sure that you can find the set that conveys the most to you. Just to name a few, you could get: Muddy Pro Climbing sticks, XOP climbing sticks, Hawk Helium Climbing sticks and I am sure a myriad of other brands. However, I feel that the climbing stick from Lone Wolf doesn’t offer anything more than the current competition. They make some of the best product around and hunter buy their product with the confidence of what they will get. Lone Wolf caters to the most serious hunters out there. You can quickly attach your straps and cinch them tight in a fraction of a second. Hang-on stand from Lone Wolf uses the same technology and it is one of the best features ever on a hunting product. It is a way to attach the strap that goes around the tree to the stick. This is accentuated by the usage of the Versa button. Every piece fits with the next and everything is easily usable while in the field, it really shines in that way while using the whole Lone Wolf system One thing you are sure to get with Lone Wolf is the ability to tuck everything easily in a nice transportable manner. They are made to mate one on top of the others bringing to the total package to a very manageable size. They are also made of aluminum and weight a total of about 10 pounds for the whole set and are 32 inches long, which is on the long side comparing to the competition. Once set-up, however, the problem disappears since you only need to climb up or down, and this is easily achievable alternating right and left foot/hand. Maybe experience will play into that, I don’t know. I often find myself trying to juggle all of my gear and raising my tree stand while trying to keep my balance on only one foot is sometimes frustrating. This design allows the saving of weight but is quite uncomfortable when trying to set up your tree stand. Some other brands have a double step design meaning that you have a step on each side on all row. They are a single step design, meaning that each row of steps is a set up to the right or the left of the stick. The Lone Wolf climbing sticks are available as single, a pack of 3 or a pack of 4 and retail for $200USD for the pack of 4. I think this is the best of both worlds.Īnother advantage of the sticks is that if you need to place one to a slight angle to accommodate the tree angle or lean, each section is short enough to conform to the shape way better than any long regular hunting ladder. The climbing sticks method help you place them everywhere you want on the tree, even if crooked, but are also easily portable. You could hardly move a complete solid 20 feet ladder every time you want to change spot, and screw-in steps are impractical at best and also damage trees. I had the chance to used them quite a lot and did multiple sits on a bunch of different sites.Īs a mobile hunter, you have a couple of possible option available, but in my mind, the climbing stick might be the best. You can finally stop hunting for the perfect tree, and hunt the place that you choose! Mobile HuntingĪs part of my goal of extending my capacity as a bow hunter, I purchased a complete mobile set-up last year consisting of a Lone Wolf Alpha II combined with a set of four Lone Wolf climbing sticks. This gives the hunter using those a big advantage. Combining with a quality hang-on stand, you can climb virtually any tree. They allow the hunter to climb a crooked tree and where limbs would get in the way of a normal ladder. Climbing sticks are a popular method of climbing trees by hunters using a hang-on stand.
