Default Beware when you hang stands.....


You might run into a Rob!!! Actually, I called him to be the person that called 911 when I fell. The wife
says that I need to do that when I climb around in the trees.[8D]Also, Rob and I plan to tag team the whitetails this year with his camera in tow. We found a great group of walnut trees to set up in. The picture below, (sorry these pics were from my cell as we forgot a real camera) is from the ground and you can make out the hunter's stand and Rob is in the cameraman spot.



The set overlooks a bean field right where a creek ravine empties into it. Hopes are high. Here
is a shot looking out over the field where the grassline that the deer also travel splits the field.



PS Thanks for your help Rob, I think we will both be rewarded in a little while.

That's the tradeoff, right there.

We in the midwest get more expansive places to hunt with less competition, but you guys get to live close enough to each other out in Pa that you can easily share some hunts throughout the year.

Good luck, guys.

Thanks Greg, I can't say I know what the other side of the trade off is, but I sure do like hunting with buddies. Until I joined HNI last year, I had a handful of buddies that would hunt every Saturday and maybe a few weeknights a season with me. Rob hits it hard just like I do and I am really looking forward to sharing a tree this year with someone that is excited about this great sport as I am.

Very observant of you. We should be leading by example.

They are setting a bad example for the younger hunters out there. They should be stripped of their stands and archery gear and given to.....who better than me
