RE: Camo'ed my climber
As for the tree pic requests; it looks just like that, only on a tree. JK, of course against a sky background it still stands out, but it helps break up the un-natural horizontal lines of the climber against the woods background.

RE: Camo'ed my climber
My first thoughts exactly, Dave. I've had sneaky leaf laying around here since the first year it came out, and use it quite often when turkey hunting. But you're right about it being not-the-softest material to avoid noise with when deer hunting. It does get better after washing the leaves several times, but it still concerns me a bit much to try it in deer season.

It's nowhere on my stand that I will brush against it. It just hangs off the bottom sides of the rails. I did this at the end of last season and used it a few times with no noise.

RE: Camo'ed my climber
I pinned those same leaves on my camo outfit one year and shot a turkey with my bow on a 3 legged stool with no blind. You can go to hobby lobby and get more realistic ones and cheaper too on their fake vines that they sell. I did this for a small blind befeore I bought Double Bulls. BTW, your stand looks great!!

RE: Camo'ed my climber
Great looking stand Shadowace.
I was thinking about using the new enigma camo when it comes out to cover one of my stands. Here's what it will look like.......... it blends wiith all backgrounds so it might be hard to see.
It's near one of my secret honey holes.
