Does it matter...
if I lock my climbing stand onto a tree the day before (or a couple days) I plan to hunt an area? If I'm over at the farm doing some work, I'll move my stand somewhere I plan to hunt the next time around, and leave it there locked to the base of the tree. Sometimes, I will get down in the morning, take my stand somewhere else, then leave and come back that night. Is there anything wrong with this practice?
