@DeathFromAbove - Based on your question, you understand that the main concern with leaving SRT climbing rope attached to a tree unattended over the course of several days is rope damage inflicted by squirrels or other tree-climbing critters that chew on it.
I won’t leave my climbing rope in a tree unattended.
If you have the intention of climbing the tree again, then it’s easy enough to install a pre-set loop of paracord or masons line (which is much less expensive than paracord) to facilitate reattaching your SRT rope to the tree at a later point in time.
This transfers the risk of rodent damage from your primary climbing rope to an inexpensive cord that won’t have negative consequences for your safety if it gets compromised while you’re not present to witness it. For me, the difference in setup time is small enough that it’s worth taking the extra time to put a loop of masons line in place and take down my rope so I know that it is still in good condition the next time I climb on it.
The other thing to consider is whether you really want to hunt from the same tree over and over again. This lets the deer pattern you. They will smell your scent and the giant scent wick (aka your rope) when they are passing by your stand at night when you aren’t there. They’ll quickly learn to avoid your tree due to the human scent you leave there over the course of your multi-day hunts.
