Bob, I thought I had to climb every den tree and many just to knock the coon out. I have hunted many nights alone with one dog and clumb trees just to show the dog his coon. When you fall, not if you fall and live through it you'll decide not to climb again. I can't say I never climb but it's only to get a dog or a few feet high. Besides that at my age it's not good to make the young pups look bad that have trouble getting into their deer stands. A little story, a coon hung up one night about 12 feet up, the man I was with thought he would climb the tree and get it out for his young dog. He clumb for about 5 minutes and said he couldn't make it and was coming down, I told him to straighten his legs out and he would be on the ground. About 30 seconds later I grabed the coon and threw it down. The man told me that if I told anyone he would choke me. Good advise Bob!
