As bow season gets nearer and I'm still without a place to hunt this year, it's looking more and more like I'm going to be stuck hunting public land.
This means, despite my dislike (near phobia) of using a climber, I'm probably going to have to make myself do so if I want a realistic chance at killing a deer.
With that said, what would y'all say most climber accidents/failures are attributed to? Doing something stupid or legit equipment failure (no wrong-doing on the user's part)? I have a limited budget which means I'll probably be looking at used stands if/when I buy one, and I have little experience using them. I always wear a harness but the last thing I want is to find myself hanging from a tree, in the middle of public land where a cell signal may be weak/nonexistent.

There are 3 certainties in an uncertain world:
1. All Politicians Are Liars 2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement 3. Taxation Is Theft
