The biggest tree that my stand will fit on. usually some kind of an oak. once in a while a beech. i dont like to use my climber on a beech though cause the bark isnt the easiest for the stand to bite into.
I made that mistake one time with a climber, hunted 20 ft up. was on my way down later that morning, the last 12 ft. were a blur as I shot straight down and my stand didn't catch until I was about a ft. off the ground. Needless to say, never climbed a beech again.
