Anyoe that says you cant set up a climber or climb a tree quietly are full of crap! Last year, opening day afternoon,I enter the woods,still hunt my way in to my spot and start to connect climber to tree. Get both sections attached, look up and see three does feeding towards me at about 40 yds...long story short,doe down at 33yds....Jumping to Oct. 28th, I enter my woods and set up my climber, and while ascending the tree perhaps 12 ft up I hear deer and see them coming at about 35-40 yds. I get turned aruond and hoist my bow up and wind up taking a nice buck at 18 yds. I say climb on! Mine is a high-point sold at the local Wally-world.
