[QUOTE="GSPsnFORDs, post: 7373490, member: 67462"] I used to do a lot of bow hunting. Haven't done much in the past few years since I've moved to northern illlinois...the area I'm in doesn't have too many deer...especially ones that I would be after. I do prob. 85% of my hunting from a climber, 10% from fixed stands, 5% stalking and/or spot & stalk. Climbers are great for their portability but can be troublesome on new ground only if you haven't scouted it for good trees/locations to hunt from. But you must also be willing to pack it in and out (as well as your other gear) with every trip to the woods. Also have to love the comfort factor...which is why i use them more than lock ons. I usually reserve stalking for the really REALLy windy days when swaying in a tree 30ft. up is no fun, when it's been raining and the leaves are soft and/or no deer are moving through my area, or when there's a fresh snowfall...can't beat it...just have to move slooooow. Scent...your best friend is the wind. I don't by scent blocker or the likes but do use scent free products religiously. Shower before each hunt, keep clothes in rubbermaid containters until I get to my spot (I'm paranoid about this), spray down before I enter the woods, and then a bit more when I reach the stand and am all settled in. Ugh...there's too much to write in one post. Might want to try a hunting forum...I suggest huntingnet.com It's a really great site...I'm a member there as well...tons of good info! [/QUOTE]
