Who Wants Nothing To Do With One Sticking?

Why does everyone climb with the extra weight of a pack on their back? I am old not in best shape so i leave my pack and bow at the base of the tree. I have only hunted one stick for one hunt. Tagged out gun week from the ground. But anyway it seems like packing all you brought with you when one sticking would increase difficulty.

im 64, but I’ll let you know when I hit middle age!!
 
If i hunt close to bedded deer i only hunt on 8mph winds. The leaves moving covers sound and movement to an extent. Otherwise i hunt 400 yrds away from bedding areas. I don't have the jungle you traverse, athough dry ground clutter is tough too.
 
People can argue all they want, more movement, noisy and more effort and debatable if any faster than sticks. I have been on public plenty and had guys set up near me. One stickers are always very obvious as to where stick guys not so much. If I can hear and see them flopping around so can the deer. Sticks to me are far superior fir stealth!!

I was at 12 ft one sticking up when I heard a deer walking in the leaves, looked around and this one was at 30yds inbound. He came all the way in, walked right under my azz less than 5ft from the tree I was hanging on and then walked outbound. Had my bow on my back but all I could do was watch him walk. It’s as quite as you want it to be, no different than sticks.029A65E5-AF61-4CD6-A8B0-B850AA09E150.jpeg

Way different than sticks, yanking the stick off the tree

If anyone is yanking their stick off the tree while climbing they're doing it wrong. I climb with a Mission and that bracket really bites. I don't have to yank it to get it off. I can climb quietly and efficiently with no issues.

Just curious. If you where on sticks with a linemen belt could you have gotten a shot of do you think.i know 1 sticking puts you in a couple different positions when climbing.rather than just standing.asuming you could reach your bow without getting busted.i climb with my bow to.
