I was thinkin' about hittin' up Bass Pro again. Didn't spend enough money or time in the place last time. This time it might sting a bit checkin' out. Ohh and I knew Wisconsin was good for something.... :d
Yeah, enjoy it! You'll soon find that your climber will not be seeing any action this season! To me the best set up there is!
I watched the video on the Lone Wolf site lastnight about how you put them together and how to set them up on the stand for backpacking them. They look awsome. Can't wait to get the sticks. So tired of all the traditional bulky/heavy sticks!!! Should get the sticks this weekend. Probably get the stand next week!!!
Ferg I am surprised how light these sticks are and I have to get one more because they come with 3 and thing 4 would be perfect.
You have made the best purchase ever! Yes Lone Wolf is a client, but they make the best stick and stand on the market. I love mine! Guys keep in mind that the e-commerce site is coming along and will be up next week. We hope that all of you consider getting your gear from out site.
Todd, I would be happy to wait till next week. Just wondering if any savings I get from your site on heavy items like sticks and stands would be gone in shipping charges?
Just a heads up online for the alpha at gandermountain.com its 189.99 and if you go to the store its 199.99 so they have gone up.
Okay Todd, I will seriously consider giving you back that $100 I worked hard for at the 1st GTG. I knew I was going to have to give it back one day or another. :d
You think you worked hard for that hundo? That was the luckiest shot I have seen in a long time! Then you don't even show up to defend the title this year. I think you should just give it back to him anyways!!!
Hey man, I had to sweat through three previous rounds, then I had to deal with the threat of bloodcrick, mo_bowhunter, and that professional 3-D archer husband of LadyForge.... I done worked hard. Plus, I wasn't suppose to shoot. I had an ailing back. All that and more Fergus.....all that and more! Okay fine, I'll end up giving Todd his hundo back.
Peak, if your looking for a Climber, Sportsmans Warehouse in New Berlin has 2 LW sit and climb climbers on sale for $260.00. They are the last two stands they have in the store and for a smoking deal! I have NEVER seen a LW on sale before! Just thought I give you a heads up!
Damn I had no idea you would be selling the wolf, I will get the extra stick I need then. Season does open the 13th so I couldnt wait anyways. Joe I dont like climbers after a bad experience I had with one and yes it was my own fault but I just dont like them.
like you stated....choice of trees, which isnt a problem for you. I know in a few places I hunt, climbers wouldnt get you very far at all...other places, they are golden. Anyone hunting the pine plantations of the deeper south would be a fool not to use a climber though, now that I have seen those woods through turkey hunting. EVERY tree is perfectly straight and climable.
I'm with TEmbry on this one - a lot of the spots I hunt there's no way in a million years you could use a climber. A lot of trees look like this! As for helpful tips on using the LW sticks - learn how to stack them and secure them to your stand quietly before you do anything else. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy. Also, Todd from WKP showed me that on each stick you should alternate the direction of the buckle when they're stacked together to avoid having them accidentally clank together when you're walking in. My only other advice would be not to put them too far apart and overextend yourself trying to get up those few extra inches, and try to avoid using them on shagbark hickory trees if at all possible. Every time I do they seem to make a lot of noise and never stay put b/c of that damn bark. They'll work, but at your own risk and with a lot of noise. That's all I've got. Good luck with them, you made a wise purchase grasshoppa. :D
