I’m not trying to open a can of worms.....but have a question regarding the damage or lack of damage done to trees.
Every website that I go to says spurs damage and possibly kill the trees. And only to climb trees that are dead or you’re planning on cutting down.
Their logic being, if you’re breaking the cambium barrier on the tree and release sap, then you allow disease an entry way to the tree.
For those of you that have been climbing for awhile , do you have a test tree that you have climbed several times over a period of time to see if there’s any damage. Or how many times have you climbed the same tree over the years.
I know the ideal thing to do would be just to climb a different tree every time you hunt. Where I hunt it is very thick and you might have to climb the same tree a few times.
I just purchased my first set of spurs (climb right aluminum) and I’m getting ready to mod them out. I’m excited and looking forward to be able to hunt with spurs this season , but just have a few concerns.
Thanks
