Big J, if you said hey to me...........I would stop and listen too!!!!!!!!! Your big enough to burn diesel !!!!!! Now you know I mean that respectfully, I was reading your post the other day about playing pro football....football was a big part of my life as well... college level only for me though.. to small to white andto slowfor the next level..

One question? do you have a hard time finding a good treestand to hold you and fit you??? Have a good one..

I have a hard time finding anything to fit me

I have one stand that goes to 400lbs a North Star,but mostly I can get away with the 300lb capacity. I know the stands will hold much more (about 3x) what they are rated at so I feel pretty good about a 300lb rated stand as long as it's from a good company.

As far as "fitting" good on them....forget it! But I love to huntsoI just make do with what I have.

As far as football goes, I love the sport but now at 40 I'm starting to pay the price. I just had surgery on my left knee on 7-25-05 and have my right one scheduled to be operated on the 29th of this month. My first for the right knee (3rd time for the left) But I'm getting around just fine now so I will be ready for this hunting season. I can't complain though.....football has been good to me.

The biggest difference from major college football to the NFL is SPEED! the game moves much quicker. The hitting I thought was about the same but size and speed of those D-backs and linebackerswas nothing like college. Being a pulling guard I know first hand just how hard it is to run one of them down.

Anyway sorry for the highjack.
