if you are climbing during daylight and during the rut, then there is an increased risk of a buck you'd shoot seeing you climb and then leaving and not coming back for a good while
if you are focused on climbing, there's a good chance you won't see the buck when this happens (and so not even know this occurred), as mature bucks are much less likely to blow and flag their tails...they just slink off
cutting your climb time in half, cuts the probability of that happening in half
Totally understand what you are saying, I climb 2TC and it generally don’t take me long to be up and ready to shoot. I guess my point in it all is why is everyone looking for that magic number of being from base of tree to hunting height in x amount of time. I usually go slow and do my best not to sweat, all the while trying to be as quiet as possible. I guess the biggest factor in this question is that of is one climbing in the morning or afternoon? I hunt more mornings that afternoons, but do tend to try to be quicker when hunting
afternoons.
