Buddy of mine is using a Guido. Has killed 2 out of it and loves it. He bow hunts and rifle hunts with it. Less than 10 pounds.

Yeah I looked at those, but I'm low on money and cannot afford my spiderman suit.

I bought an Ol Man, the price was right, and so I gave it a try. I like the stand, I do. Seems like a lot of pins and straps and stepping over nets while 30 feet up in the dark after being numbed up from a 3 hour sit, but I do like it's comfort. However, lemme tell ya, that thang ain't for totin' in ANYWHERE. If I don't look like a pack mule while carrying it in, then I don't know who does.

I still got the stand and keep it on some family property. I wound up buying a Lone Wolf Assault that weighs 14.5 lbs and I LOVE IT.

any of you guys who hunt out of a climber regularly, I have not found a good pack that I like that can attach to the stand, and hold plenty of clothes for those cold days ( I wear a t shirt, and pants while walking in, and put all my warmer clothes on when I get there to prevent sweating )

everything I've tried has been too bulky or doesn't attach well to my stand when packing, and moving the stand around. what do you guys use?

thx

for exmaple you could kill a 4 greenheads (two banded), a mallard/black cross, and a mallard/gaddy cross and smash a hot blonde on the way back to the ramp and call it a hell of a day
and THAT is a duck hunt.
