Buellhunter, give it a shot if you want- but my touchy deer didn't go for it one bit.

I wrapped my climber all over with fake chrismas tree limbs and each time I would accidentally touchit, rub it with ashoe orelbow up against the fake limbs the deer within view would go on full alert. If it was making any noise doing soI couldn't hear it, but boy those deer sure could. SoI slowly but surely removed limb by limb until the point where it was all gone.

The best thing I've done to date is place tie-wraps loosely around different portiones of the climber and then stuff some local natural brush and limbs into the holes/loops made by they tie wraps. Each time I relocate I just refreshen it up some.

Good luck with those leafs, they look good and quiet too.
