Just curious how you guys are strapping your sticks to your stand. I have the Hawk Hwlium and the Hawk climbing sticks. I used a quick quick strap that you draw tight. No ratcheting or sound to them at all. It works pretty well and there isn't any noise. Holds them pretty secure too. Easy to take apart as well. I just need to find some green or black ones. What at are you guys using and how are you attaching them? Here is a pic of my set up.
When we use to hunt public land alot, before wife and kiddos, we would do whatever we could to carry the whole world in. Your setup looks good.
Couldn't see the pic, but I don't think the color of the straps matters as long as its not white, gray, or at the blue end of the color spectrum. Recent studies show that deer see very well for these colors, but not so much for others, so don't worry. Even then, if not moving doesn't really matter to a deer's eyes that do not see detail well. Its more about sound. How much noise to you make when taking apart, putting on, and taking down/securing. If its silent, its a good setup. This is way more important than eyesight.. if you want more info on this let me know! www.soundbarrierhunting.com
