I've taken 3 deer this year with the bow. I had the best buck I've seen in my area at 12 yds, another time. EACH time was my first sit in a particular stand location. I haven't sat in a "same" tree since early Oct.

I have MANY trees I can access with the climber, though. the only thing that's tough is the heat around here in early bow season. It's hard to get up tree with a climber an not get soaking wet.
