cjsportsman Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 So I went out Sat morning and sat til about 9:30 saw nothing. I decided to move 1 of my stands and when I got to it it was GONE! I had 5 skyhook treesteps at the bottom and the rest were screw in. they took the stand and screw in steps. There is nothing worse than thieves and poachers. So now i decided to use a climber. which climber should i buy, i am looking at the loggy bayou which looks pretty good.

Tony Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! thats really bad that someone stole your stand . i hope you catch who took it. you should have some idea who it might be if you know your neighbors pretty good. i always like to know whos hunting next to me or near me just for that reason.. did you have a chain and lock on it ? i am also going to a climber to make myself more mobile . i have been looking at the ones from Summit.. a friend of mine has 1 and he loves them .

Guest whitetailarcher Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! I had mine stolen this year too. I guess I was in denial that other hunters would steal my stand, but now I know better and have started locking them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! I have been using a summit broadhead backpacker for the past few years. I love it. notthe lightest thing to pack into the woods, but very comfortable. due to a knee injury, I have been using hang on stands this year. They are a lot more convienent, but everytime I go out, I'm wondering if they will still be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ousoonerfan22 Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! That sucks! I had a ladder stand stolen from my uncle's property one year. Check out the API climbing stands my son and I like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beagleboy Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! Sorry to hear about the theft. Aslong as we are out there there will always be people who take advantage of ethical hunters. I personally love my summit viper climbing stand. Easy up and down and very comfortable. Good luck.

buckee Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scum bag strikes again! That bites for sure. We've had 7 stands get lifted over the years. Locks, chains and lag bolts, don't seem to deter thieves. If they want it bad enough, they just go home, get the tools they need and do their dirty deed. I'd just like to catch one stealing my stuff. We haven't hung any stands for the last 2 seasons, just because of idiot thieves and poachers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scum bag strikes again! Man I wish someone would develope a cable and lock that was bolt cutter proof.....

Guest DaveGP Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scum bag strikes again! i love my summit, but my uncle has the loggy lite and a climbing aid. i really love that stand...if your a serious bow hunter i would go for it because unlike my viper it doesnt have the bar in your way so you can shoot while seated! dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! I've had 2 or 3 stolen too, and have decided to only go with climbers also. I like my Summit best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRTMO Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! I had a ladder stolen a few years ago. I have a Cabela's Trophy Elite Climber that I like alot. I am considering getting a hang on API but I would take it out every day and not leave it on the tree. I am condifering switching the the Summit Viper.

jnrbronc Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! I bought a Lone Wolf Alpha this year and really love it. Pack it in, use it on about any tree (don't need to worry about limbs blocking your "climb") and pack it out. That way scumbags aren't tempted. Shot a nice ten point with a bow out of it last Thursday am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenderhunt4 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! Sorry to hear about your loss. That's so frustrating. I like using the Lone Wolf Sit & Climb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

double_drop Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! That really sucks sorry to hear about that. I bought a cheap climber from walmart three years ago and it works very well for me. Don't know what all you are looking for in a climber though.

puffy Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! Sorry about your treestand theft, but it happens all to often. Bolting them sure helps. My hunting partner and myself have ten stands out this year and wonder how many will disappear. Hopefully none, but you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowJoe Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Re: Scumb bag strikes again! I had a stand stolen last year as well and was devastated. I had just bought it and I still don't know if it was the game warden or thieves. I look at them the same when it comes to taking stands. As far as climbers go...I researched for 2 yrs before I finally bought the API Grand Slam SuperStar. This stand has everything and only weighs 18 lbs. This stand has a swing away sitting bar, a footrest/gun rest, large cushioned sling seat which is adjustable, chain style strap, sharp dig in teeth and a large platform for standing shots. Not to mention how quiet, compact and comfortable this thing is. The full body harness is the one I still use no matter what. I feel totally confident using this stand at heights of 30 feet or more and I weigh 400 lbs. The price ain't bad either. Good luck and happy hunting.
