RE: Climber tip
ORIGINAL: DropTine249 Also- carrying a climber TOP into the turkey woods is a great way to hunt them comfortably. Slap the top to the base of a tree and sit you butt down. Pick a tree with a bit of low hanging branch cover and you're golden and easily MOBILE if needed |

RE: Climber tip
ORIGINAL: davidmil ORIGINAL: ICALL2MUCH When you go around in the summer (or spring) and test climber trees, take a notepad and write down which "settings" you use for each tree. Most all climbers have settings (ie tree width) and I have found if you write them down, and create a sheet with info for each tree, you make life easier when you get to the tree. Example info for each tree: Winds:S,SW,W ( I will be using Greg H's tactic of wind degrees this year) Settings: Top-4 hole Bottom-2nd hole |

RE: Climber tip
ORIGINAL: ICALL2MUCH ORIGINAL: davidmil What state do you live in? Hunting ability is not determined by who gets the bigger. Getting the BIGGESTis a matter of hunting land available and genetics of the area, deer density etc. OH, I just checked your profile... surprise surprise, you live in Illinois. That always makes it easy to challenge someone to "Let's see who gets the biggest". LOL I also notice you're what, 21, come back in 30 years and tell me you're still doing it. LOL I'll still be here in 30 years...how about you?![8D]:D:D |

We might start out and end up on state land a mile off the road and decide, "this spot looks good. Lots of sign, some nice trees... let's do it". No way in hell am I hauling around a climber on scouting trips so I can climb a tree and make some note I have to turn on a flashlight to read. If you use a climber exclusively, as I pretty much do, you can pick a tree, put the stand around it at the right hole and go to it. Plus, now that I have the Equalizer I don't care what the numbers are. Nope, not lugging a stand around in the summer stinking and banging through the woods to predetermine which hole to put a pin in. If your stand is that tempermental, you need a different stand.:):) It's suppose to be fun.... not anal. NEVER confuse activity with achievement. # of deer mean nothing to me.:D There used to be TONS of them in the 70's...[8D] Although, I DO have a wheelchair accessible stand, if you would ever care to hunt with me!
