New to treestand hunting. Picked up a Lone Wolf Alpha and some Muddy stagger steps. May change out the sticks for something lighter and more compact for next year, but maybe not - as a newbie I'm loving the security of the stagger steps. But, obviously they are bulky and heavy. Fine with that for now. What bugs me though is they do a lot of clanging - a bit while walking and definitely while taking them apart. Does anyone have experience with these sticks that has found a way to silence them? Also, any suggestions on how they pack onto a stand for walking would be much appreciated as well. I'm getting them in there, but it isn't always pretty!
