What are the pros and cons to leaving your climbing spurs on after locking into your bridge and tether and standing on your platform?

Do you mean wearing them while hunting on platform??

instead of trying to take them off when you get set up just leaving them on until you are out of the tree.
Aside from being a slight bit inconvenient to take on & off at hunting height there aren’t any benefits to leaving them on. It could create unwanted noise & I have a healthy fear of gaffing myself. I don’t want them on while maneuvering for shot.
Don’t know what your platform is but if your a leaner, spikes are gonna be in the way of where you’re feet are most comfortable

Too much potential for noise IMO. Some rare occasions I will leave one on so I can pivot around the tree without adding a step in addition to my platform. I don't do that often tho. You also risk sticking a spike in the side of your boot if you aren't careful.
