How do you

Post by The Chief »

Carry your climbing tree stand and your crossbow into the woods at the same time without banging and clanging them together?

i use a lone wolf sit and climb so it packs small and tight to your back then the bow just in my hands. also i built a came cart that folds ,if im going a long ways i will leave it in the folded position hook my tree stand to it then my backpack and bungee the bow on top until im within a hundred yards of where i hunt. i ditch the cart and the rest goes on my back to the tree . if i get lucky .i go back for the cart and everything goes on top for the trip out .

I make sure my summit is strapped tight & cradle my bow in my hands. I don't carry anything in my pockets but my truck key...keep noise to a minimum. I hunt public land so i usually hump a half to a mile back. No issues so far. :)

Tree stand on my back, and X-bow in my hands. Sometimes on the long walk, I wish I could carry it on my shoulder. But then if I happen upon a chance to shoot, I wouldn't be able to.......RR

I put my pack on the summit viper, then putarms thru shoulder straps, all goes on my back. Then i put my crossbow sling over my neck my Vixen is chest high in front of me. One hand on Riser the other on buttstock to keep limbs vertical. I have done this up to a mile into the woods. Make sure to allow twice the time you think you need, :lol: Or you will be settin up at daylight!

I need a compact, lightweight climber. Until then, I'll lug around my old antique.

I use hockey tape, (Canadian eh?), on the edges of the stand to keep it quiet and strap it tight with two leather goalie pad straps. Tubes are filled with expanding foam. It's not light, but quiet as all get up.

I carry my bow in my hands.
