Use a climber...even if you have to hide it under a brush pile in the area you plan to hunt....or learn to hunt on the ground...I left a Baby Grand locked to a tree about 10 years ago in the Uwharrie National Forest, here in NC...it was gone when I went back to hunt a couple of days later...thieves hunt too...but, I learned my lesson...I now own 3 climbers....I either pack them in or have them hidden in the woods.
