RE: Hunting situation...
I would go in early in the day and set up the climber,hunt that afternoon and leave the stand and slip back in befor day the next morning.if you leave at dark and back at day ,no one wil get your stand.fix a place you can hide you stand for the next day.
that way you can get in with out making noise.just walk slow and stop often.
You may get some bright eyes and put them about knee high(that way you want be shinning the light all over the woods).pick a good clean route.you may have to weave a little and walk a little farther,but it will be worth it in the long run.
good luck and keep us posted.[:-]
