Never ever ever. If you don’t think a climber hanging off a tree at 3’ off the ground catches the attention of a 4-5 year old buck I encourage you to place a camera on a stand left in the woods. They do not like it. I will not leave a climber in the woods for any length of time. What's difference in a ladder? Im curious to this as well The answer is they ain't one.. other than maybe spotting one quicker, but both r noticed...after a few times they get used to it trust me...is it smart? probably not for a couple reasons..weather, thiefs ect

I would think that a ladder stand left in place for a while they probably get used to. I guess if you left a climber up year round other than scent when you used it would probably be no different

I went as a guest with a boy last year, and even though he told me I wouldn't need a stand, I took mine anyway (just kept it in the cab with the back seats folded up because I drove 2+ hours in the pouring down rain, and it rained like a cow pissing on a flat rock all night). Good thing I did.... seriously that first morning he tells me where I'll be hunting, and says "I trust you are good enough to take my directions and find your own way in there, so just drive your truck over there to the gate and etc..." I drive across their club, get to the gate he told me to and proceed to walk a good ways down a firebreak to a stand he said was already hanging on the tree. He already told me it was a climber, so I was smart enough to walk in there with mine. Of course when I find it it's SOAKING@#$@ wet, and apparently I'm the first one who'd been in there all season because it was literally one big spider web. Well there was an identical pine not 5' from that tree, so I just climbed it with my own stand. I was funny/joking about it when we met back up for lunch, but I gave him down the road for that stunt!!!!

It makes a difference. Trust me.

When I climbed I had, well I still have them but don't use them, 4 climbers. 3 I left on my favorite trees, and 1 I kept at the barn so I could take it with me anywhere. Leaving them on the tree and just going in and climbing was much easier and quieter than carrying one in and setting it up in the dark.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Trust me. Not to mention the ladder stand is stationary, the climber isn’t. I’m sure they can tell the difference

I’ll hang it and usually don’t hunt it for a couple or 3 weeks at least. Matt, what stand do u use? Dr. B

I only leave what I want to disappear by a thief. Which is nothing.

Something that hasn't been mentioned is any stand or ladder that catches water can also freeze and bust, destroying the stand. Always drill drain holes at bottom of ladder stand legs.
