Default Limited time

Scenerio..By the time you get from work to the base of your tree it's gonna be 4:15-4:20. Do you take the climber or ground hunt.

The climber will take you another 5-6-8-10 (?) minutes in travel time and climb time. Not to mention more noise is always a risk when climbing in a hurry.


Sunset is 5:15 pm.

Ground hunt Gr8

I think it will give you more time to hunt. Is it private land? If so then just put up your climber and leave it for a couple of days. Or do you have a bunch of thieves around there?

I hate bringing more stuff into the woods than I need to.... especially when I am in a rush. I would find myself a nice big tree and kick back for an hour.

I'm a climber. I've been busted every time I've ever been on ground level with a whitetail.

I would keep the noise and travel time down and hunt the ground in a spot you can slip into for a hour hunt.I would let my prime area cool down and hunt on the weekend fresh.But thats me.
