I've been hunting for years, and maybe I just pay more attention now or worry more, but it seems like to me a climbing stand, put in a pine, makes a whole lot more racket than just about anything. I just don't see, after all the racket they make going up, why anyone even sees a deer hunting out of them. Btw before u ask mine is a cougar claw. Any tips or examples on why this may not be so?

I hunt out of my climber 99% of the time. I take care not make any metal on metal sounds and I don’t think the sound of bark being scraped bothers the deer to much. If it does that’s just a price I’ll have to pay for using a climber. IMO the benefits far out weigh the negatives

^^^^^^^Same here. I had an older climber that had the metal blades on it that I sold recently. I've climbed with in on public land in the dark and had a deer within 20 yards of me 2 minutes after I'd climbed to my max height.

Ive killed big deer literally minutes after getting set down into a climber. I think sometimes they think its another buck rubbing the tree and come check it out. Killed a 130+ 8 point 5 minutes after sitting down just this year. He pretty much walked right to me

Seen a deer while in a pine tree, in Alabama? You are kidding right. Most of the deer I've killed in Bama were from a climber in a pine. Especially bow kills. I've had one lay nearby and watch me climb. I didn't see the deer until I was 12 ft up. You're just looking for an excuse for why you aren't seeing deer. Unless it's metal on metal, I doubt they know what the sound is. Haven't you heard the noise two or more squirrels make playing chase in a pine? I never made that much noise climbing. Hunt safe

I have had deer come in on a string to the sound of my climber. More than once. Same here Take your time, don't get in a hurry. Go into the woods earlier than you normally would so you arent in a hurry.
In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.

no feeling more secure than getting up the perfect size pine tree in a summit, digging those teeth in, and tightening up the Third Hand Archery stabilizer straps. most relaxed I am during the week, I think.
