How Early to Climb?
I am signing on my first lease tomorrow and I got everything I need except the tree stand. I am weighing all options and I think a climber might be what I want. I think I am sold on a Summit Viper. My question is due to the fact that I have never used a climbing stand before. How noisy are they and how early do you have to get up in the tree to allow the critters to settle down and go on as usual? Or should I just set up a ladder stand and be done with it?
