The bigest promblem w/ trees in my area is that they tend not to be straight. So climbing type stands don't always work real good. And the cottonwoods on the creek bottom don't have real deep root systems. In other words they sway w/o a extra 255 pound person hanging on them. O.K. ;O.K. I know I shouldn't send my wife up a tree but if it don't hold her it won't hold me!!!

well you certainly can,t use a climbing tree stand on trees that they are not designed to work correctly on. but around much of the southeastern usa theres tall straight trees like pines with no branches lower than the 30-40 foot level that make ideal climbing tree stand locations

I don't mind putting a ladder in a hickory tree, but I avoid other stand types.
The problem with the oaks around here is that there is a lot of small limbs that are just a little too big to break off. Rarely can you find a tree you can go straight up 20 ft that is still 15-20 yards from the deer trail.
