My choice is to use a hang on stand for the convenience, but some areas I hunt have other hunters around.
So I opt for the climber, as not to alert other hunters when they scout. This,of course, is more time consuming, along with noisier.
I've killed two bucks this year, 1 from the hang on (6 pt. archery) and 1 from the climber (8 pt. muzzle).
I also did the same last year.
So being careful while deer hunting, understanding the woods you hunt, and of course some good old fashion luck can be rewarding in anything.
Christ, I had a spike almost run me over on the ground two weeks ago and he never saw me from 12 feet away! That's exciting...
