I had to give up my climber eight years ago due to "extensive bladder cancer". Ten hour surgery , five tubes coming out of my belly for three months. I switched to chain on and screw in steps and ladder stands. The benefitof ladders is ; once installedthey are very quiet to get into and much more secure. The draw back is once installed they are a pain to relocate. This years placement was totally wrong for archery...great for rifle.....I'm facing the wrong direction.....the other problem is that none of my hunting companions are seeing deer.....SW Pa...temp forecast for monday..82 degrees....we lost over 2,000 deer to that bug.

PS..advice..On the bladder cancer...if you pee blood...go to the doctor..NOW...I had my bladder removed and a new one made from part of my intestine...plus I had a proceedure called nerve sparing....I function...but I can't reproduce..hey but I'm 64.....
