Got my first deer this evening out of a saddle. Was running late and spooked a few deer where I was going to setup. Decided to setup anyway, got to the bottom step on first stick setup (I one stick) had put my linesman rope around tree and was attaching my tether rope when I seem a deer coming back at 50 yards. Pulled bow up and got a shot at 26 yards, doe went about 60 yards. Definitely don’t think I woulda got the shot had I been using a climber. Thanks to everyone here for the great info. Once I climbed down I hung my bow on bottom step for scale, lowest setup height ever.

Didn't have to expend the extra time and energy getting to "hunting height", I like it. Congrats!
