A friend of mine hung a nice 170 class mulie rack in a tree 40yds. from his tent last season, and a porcupine chewed the G4/front off. He and his buddy were too tired from packing to hear and wake up. Good point! Another good reason to take the bow with.

As much stuff as I have had/heard about stolen I could never leave anything costing more than 20 bucks in the woods!

I've done it a few times... get down after dark and back up in the same tree before light.

Yes I have done it but won't do it anymore. It seemed to put ruston my vibration dampeners at the screw. I figured that can't be good so I don't do it anymore. I hunt private land and our neighbors have owned there land for 100 years so I'm not too worried.

Never my Bow!!! But I have left my climber out knowing I would return in a few hours (before daylight the following day).

I've also left my pack in the tree (on a hook) and didn't realize it until I was on the ground. Had to then climb back up to get it.
