They're like that because they're supposed to be hard to tame. And scary. And they do a great job at it.

If you aren't trying to tame them, just shoot them with a weapon and they'll fall off the tree. Look for their level, and shoot the low junky level ones. Otherwise you'll get webbed by them while trying to tame the better ones.

If you ARE trying to tame them, here's some suggestions:

Wear ghillie armor, and bug repellent.

Bring parachutes.

Ride on a stego, or a other dinos that prevent you from being dismounted. They can't snatch you off a stego.

Go to other maps where they _aren't_ on the giant trees, because there are no giant trees. On genesis 2 map, they just run around on the ground. I actually tamed most of mine on gen 2.

If you want really high level bloodstalkers, you need to let them suck blood from other animals first. Taming effectiveness starts really low, and goes up for every animal they feed on. Moschops are the best I've found so far. I bred super moschops ( I call them most-chops, or chad-chops), with ridiculously high health.

By the way, the same thing where they let go of you while your halfway up will happen to the moschops too. The entire taming method is really glitchy. So don't tame them while they're on the trees. It's just going to be a frustrating mess.

The least headache inducing method would be to just shoot them so they fall off the trees in genesis 1. Use a quetz to pick them up, and drop them into a taming pen made out of behemoth gates. Leave them to calm down. Then pick up sacrificial tames and drop them in the pen. Let the stalker feed.

Only when it's taming effectiveness is at max, do you enter the pen with hundreds of bloodpacks in your inventory. The quetz served another purpose too. I had a platform saddle with a fridge & generator, to keep bloodpacks from going bad. It had an industrial grill for cooking meat too. I'd use a snow owl to heal my character after draining multiple blood packs. Healing drains your food, so I'd have to eat tons of meat to regain your food stat. Iirc, I could make 8 bloodpacks before having to stop to heal & eat. Then repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.

Nowadays, after they added desmodus (the giant bat from fjordur) you could make a couple thousand bloodpacks in an hour or less, just riding the bat around.
