I don't know how a person can hunt public land without a climber. It makes me much more versitile of a hunter. Even in the club I belong. I can hunt 100 yards from a thicket one day and watch what is happening, and then keep moving in targeting where I need to be. Moving a lockon to get into bow range would be even more noisier and troublesome. We have lockons and ladders all over the place.

they work good for gun hunters, but bowhunting, things change too fast during the rut.
