Climber tree stand

[Trapshooter1]

How small of a tree can I fit a climber tree stand in??
I've only used a climber in fairly big trees. This new spot that I got permission to hunt in is thick. But doesn't have very many bigger trees to climb. Has some smaller trees. I'm just wondering how small of trees guys on here use their climber in??

10-12 inch diameter trees are able to be climbed, but you'll stick out like a sore thumb if you can't get high up the tree.

What petey said. I usually try to find a clump of trees that share a common base when using small diameter trees. At least the close proximity of the trees breaks up a bit of your outline and movement.
