    I've been wanting a lone wolf but my buddy just started working for muddy and said he could get me the new vantage for $140. Do muddy stands make a lot of noise after a few years? Which should I buy?

    I would go with Muddy. LW stands are not very comfortable.

    Versatility is better with LW but comfort in Muddy. All I own is LW and Millennium stands. I can get over the comfort with a cheap cushion. But if you can get a deal.... then I say take the deal

    Thats where im stuck lol. I like lone wolf and was set on one but then I heard about his discount. It would make the muddy 100 bucks cheaper.

    I have the LW sticks and am selling them for the Muddy sticks. Sold the LW stand a couple years ago for the Muddy stand. Like Muddy a lot better and cheaper too.

    More comfortable with a much better seat, easier to level IMO by just pulling a knob, easier or at least just as easy to hang and like the Muddy sticks a lot better to go with it. At my age everything is about easy, LOL.

    One of the problems with LW uncomfortable is that if I stand for even a short while my feet get uncomfortable and after a while I get a sore lower back.

    I like LW better, but it'd be hard to pass on a good deal. They are the two best stand companies out there, you can't go wrong.

    If your going to be mobile (Hanging and removing each hunt) go with the LW, if your hanging it and letting it sit go with the muddy.

    Ill be hanging it and taking it down every time. The new muddy vantage has a mounting bracket kinda like the ez hook from lone wolf.

    I have a muddy. That's what I would get if I were buying another stand.

    They are both top of the line, just buy both and test them out for a while.
