The bow grommet on the Lone Wolf, isn’t my favorite for my Mathews Drenalin, and I prefer to take a hook with me that screws into the tree to hang my bow, but I have the grommet there incase I ever forget or drop my hook out of the tree. You can literally drag the stand up against the tree and only hear the scraping of the bark – try this in a Summit and you’ll also get the “clank clank clank” of the steel cable banging against the hollow tubes. The Lone Wolf uses solid cast aluminum construction to eliminate hollow tubes and urethane climbing belts that make no noise when climbing the tree. The Summit stand has hollow tubes and steel cables that “clank” together and make noise as you climb. This stand packs flat, is extremely light, super easy to carry through the woods, and the quietest stand I’ve ever used. ![]() Next season I’m buying the only other tree stand I will ever need – a Lone Wolf Alpha Hang On Stand with a set of four Climbing Sticks.” “This is the only climber I will ever need. Yes, they are expensive, and yes everyone complains of the price, but think about it, for about $350 you’re investing in the last tree stand you will ever need – period. After hearing all the “hype” about Lone Wolf stands, I decided to cough up the cash and try out the Lone Wolf Alpha Hand Climber. It was fairly light to carry in and very comfortable. I started off using a Summit Treestand and thought it was the greatest stand in the world. I’ve actually hunted deer in the morning, climbed down and moved 50 yards only to take a deer in that same spot in the mid-afternoon! I liked the mobility the climber offered me and the increased success I had hunting by using a climber. I was a little concerned about using a climbing stand at first but quickly became comfortable with it. I came to the conclusion that the only way I would now be able to hunt was either from the ground or with a climbing tree stand. ![]() Someone climbed up, cut the lock with bolt cutters and took it all. When I began hunting the suburbs, I went in and scouted the place, then hung a stand a week before the opener, only to have it gone by opening day. The stands were not quite so easy to set up and took a bit of time to get just right. It was a family tradition for us to visit the deer woods a month before the season and set up our stands to return to them on opening day and hunt whitetails. Climbers hadn’t really caught on yet and only a few die hard deer hunters who recognized their value used them. When I first started deer hunting everyone I knew used a fixed position stand.
