Never! I will admit that once I climbed into my stand and climbed up/shimmied up the tree, secured myself and my seat, got my mask on and my release on my wrist...then reached down for my pull rope only to realize i forgot to tie it off on my stand! So, back down the tree to get the rope and then back up...I was tired by the time I was all done and ready to hunt...and pissed! But I never forgot my bow!
