Just FYI farm and fleet has 3 packs of aerolite Muddy climbing sticks on sale for $89.99. Of course IL stores don't carry them.
I have been trying to decide which route to go. I have a very good climber but can't quite get into a tree close enough to my swamp due to no good straight trees. I think I've decided to get a lone wolf hang on stand and sticks. I see Cabela's has a combo pack with a lone wolf alpha and four sticks and quiver for $439. At this price it's like getting the fourth stick free.
