yeah bruce i think it depends on how big of an area he hunts. On a 47 acre place i hunt i have one permanent stand and then use my climber if I want to move. On our lease which is over 400 acres plus i hunt the backside of some public land. I have 2 hang on stands plus I use my climber. I wish I had more stands. I am hunting mountains and valleys. So I like to have some stands high and low and would like to have some at the areas where they cross the fields to get to another ridge. I could use 2 more stands no problem. Now dont get me wrong you can have to many stands. I place mine so far apart that the deer I see from one location I probably would not see from another.
Another reason I like to have stands in place is because I am hunting some steep stuff. Some mornings I have a 20 min walk up hill the whole way. If i was hunting some more level stuff I would not worry about it as much. I could just carry the stand in with me each time.
