I'm trying to cut some shooting lanes and the trees are just not cooperating. One is too big. One is the right size but has a 20 degree lean. And one is in just the right place, but it's a little small. It's a healthy white oak, I'm guessing 5" across near the ground. At 15' it's probably 3" across. I'm a little guy, just 145 pounds. Add a climber, rifle, some gear and now maybe 180?
So is that enough to be safe? Would a ladder stand leaning against it be safer than a climber?
