Default Mistakes we make....

Boys some friendly advice when your climbing up in your tree carry your bow with you and don't leave it hanging attached to your treestand and pull it up afterwards or this may happen to you. I stood by and watch this fella walk by at 9 yards while my bow hung nicely from the bottom of my climbing stand. I shot this video using my girlfriends still camera. Not bad video considering. Thought you might enjoy.

Why not use a utility rope? Ive never used a climber, but wouldnt make sense to attach the line to your bow, put the string in your teeth and climb on up? Then just hoist the bow up..

Great video though, that was cool

Wouldn't it make even MORE sense to tie it to the platform of the stand, then climb?
