Cause it makes me feel like a freaking Ninja
Nothing like rappelling down at the end of the hunt. I can't remember who said it here first but these words go through my mind every time . . . "I'm Batman!"Cause it makes me feel like a freaking Ninja
Oh yeah I forgot to add that I have heard Sasquatches don't climb well. So I am actually safer in a tree if bigfeets are in fact aggressive.
I like this. I like this a lot. I like this so much that I'll let it slide that you said you hunted the most pressured area in the US. Everybody knows Michigan is the most pressured. Eberhart says so.My experience hunting the most pressured area in the US is deer are really good at picking you out of trees (if you move) at like 20-40ish yards. Beyond 40 or 50 yards distance starts to help. As they move inside 20 yards, even without hunting high at all, my experience is that you start to get above their peripheral vision a little more.
I also think a lot of hunters try not to set up close enough on deer thinking 20-30 yards is somehow optimal and these guys get busted a lot drawing and playing with cameras and whatnot when deer are "in the cone". I try to set up so I expect shots within 15 yards.
My very unscientific, not to scale whatsoever, illustration of this effect:

One does not benefit from this on the ground generally speaking.
Oh gosh I hate this site!!! What is the "Packrabbit?"I only climb when truly necessary, which is only about 50% of the time the past several years. I bought a Packrabbit rig for turkey and deer for run and gun and with the Marc Anthony ghille, my options are endless from the ground. I prefer killing bucks at eye level, it's just more fun. But if the tree is needed, I climb.
