I have two straps on the bottom of my climber that I use most often. I just strap the bow to it and up I go. When I come down I just stick the bow into the strap and down I go. works like a charm.

#2. I always use the same small back pack when I go hunting. I have it rigged to strap the bow to it. If I don' t have my climber I will usually just hook the bow to my pack and climb up to my stand. The pack has a strap though the top that I put around the tree and it hangs there with all of my gear. just an idea for ya.
