Okay, now I get the picture, Taz.... Sorry. I thought you used climbers and hang-ons on and so forth. Permanent wooden tree stands are excellent. I found one that somebody made down at Powhatan WMA. It was a small 2x4 framed stand that looked to be only 10 feet or so in the air. It was built inbetween 3 big branches of a big oak tree, and for some odd reason, was covered in roof shingles. No name, no ownership tag, no anything on it, and no way to climb up to it (the person must bring a sectional climbing stick or something).

Another question: Do you hunt right after work during the week? I'd like to do that too, but don't know about leaving my bow in my truck or having to change into my camo pullovers or whatever. I get out of work at 5:00pm and could easily be at the two nearby WMA's (Amelia and Powhatan) by 5:30 or so. Is that a good time to hunt?
