THIS...is how i do it. if you get there early enough and prepare the day before. use a strap,rope or bungie or some sort of fastener.fasten your stand to your backpack.Wear just underwear and overalls,take a large air tight bag and a towel. pack your hunting clothes in the backpack.acring your bow in hand and you gear on your back.hike to your spot quietly yet quickly. Put your climber on the tree the, change be sure not to step w/ sweaty feet onto the ground towel of place towel directly into the air-tight bag. spray with some "vanishing hunter" or something like that head to toe.rub it in. get dressed.make sure you put you towel and overalls away in the bag then into your pack and up the tree with you. the higher the better.at least 20' i have one stand at 30' at the seat.(for god sake wear a harness). wait til you get to the top to put your coat,hat and gloves on.(if it's hot out).get up quietly yet quickly.take a breather put your gear on and hunt.I have a holder for bow on the stand i sit more still that way. good hunting. I shot an eight pointer this way couple years ago. I don't bait....not saying you shouldn't but i don't get out enough to keep the bait replentished well enough.
