This has to spook more deer than it's worth if you miss over and over again trying to snag the branch you want. By far most cost effective saddle setup it looks like
I usually don't run & gun with this climbing method (which I did here and have in the past). I usually utilize preset paracord loops, installed during off season in trees I know I'll want to hunt from. No noise when doing that. Or I'll climb using the 2 Tethered Method. But! I have successfully thrown the throw ball during run & gun setups and seen plenty of deer, and in this particular hunt, a coyote. I definitely wouldn't chance throwing the ball within 60 yards of bedding during a hunt.
