What is an actual climb time for one stick from bottom of tree to hunting ready at 20'?
Try it. But give it a chance. I’ve had climbs in the beginning that were an excruciating 45 minutes, but usually I’m up ez less than 20 minutes with an arrow nocked. I still have a rough climb now and then but I’m still a long way from being really good at it.I wanna give one sticking a go but if it takes me a half an hour I'm Out!
Give it a try, you will cut your wait In half and it's really not any different timewise than other methods minus packing in 4 plus sticks, timeframe mostly depends on the climber and the tree, both of which are going to be factors on any treeI wanna give one sticking a go but if it takes me a half an hour I'm Out!
My ol man always used the same line when someone was on his ass while driving “ if they were in a hurry, they should have left sooner.” That same line applies here, every time I see this topic come up, I think of him. If I’m hunting a new spot, unsure of trees, sign, cover ect. I leave for the woods early. If the “right tree” takes me an hour to climb to the “right height” for the best amount of back cover, then fine so be it. Sometimes the right tree is a straight tree with no limbs with plenty of back cover from surrounding trees and I just happen to have an extra 50 minutes of hunting! Either way, hunting shouldn’t be about speed, hunt YOUR hunt, climb YOUR climb, shoot to fill YOUR tag.
