I do a vast
I do a vast majority of hunting on public land so spurs aren’t legal. When I do hunt private parcels it’s my go to method but not because I enjoy it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you survey 100 arborist, linemen or utility guys with the question spurs or bucket truck, 99 out of 100 will say bucket truck the other guy just learned to climb and still thinks it’s fun
my preferred public land climbing method is Ddrt or if on pine trees, SRT. I listen to guys talk about presets and how you can’t throw a throw ball on hunting day and all that, but that’s not been my experience. Learning to throw a throwball isn’t hard, and it’s no louder or different sounding than squirrels in nearby trees. For that matter you can make a light packable version of a teledoc pole or extendo Stick with some 3/4” pvc and walk rope up the tree. For me climbing on ropes is the easiest method and possible the safest.
