    How much noise do you think you make getting to, and set up in, your stand?

    1 being very little. 10 being a Bull in a China Shop.

    How much does it matter to you?

    With the climber I have right now I would say around a 5-6. Hopefully I will get that issue fixed though.;)

    As far as walking in, I'll go with a 2.

    Before I got hearing aids I was a 1. After I got the hearing aids I am a 10. I don't think I'll wear the hearing aids while I am hunting, that way I'll be much quieter ;) .

    AM's are not problem with a heavy dew but the PM's can be difficult on a calm day with a heavy layer of leaves.

    I think I'm pretty quiet. I'd say a 3. I plan on using my bicycle a lot more this year and leave the 4-wheeler in camp more often. I think that will make a difference in the early mornings. If I can hear other ATVs from 1/2 mile off so can the deer. When I get one on the ground I'll go back to camp and get the ATV.

    I'd probably say a 3. Just like some of you said though, it gets a little trickier when theres crunchy leaves on the floor and no wind on an afternoon hunt

    Barring crunchy leaves I am really quiet. I have gotten in and out of my tree(in a climber) within eyeshot of deer.
    Occasionally I'll drop something or clank, but its odd mishap when I do. I just go very deliberate.

    squirrels breathing is louder than me:p

    I have seen some big deer while making a lot of noise, LOL Most animals are not very stealthy in the woods, so trying to be quiet could have a negative effect:p

    Ever watch the reaction of a deer to different sounds in the woods? Weird sometimes what they tune in to and what they disregard.
