Went out today and hungone chain on and one ladder stand. The older I get the more I am beginning to like ladders. I'm thinking lately that rigging at high altitude is for the younger guys. I have resigned myself to using ten screw in steps to hit eighteen feet instead of doing it with eight. The hardest part of it all was shinnying up a thin tree to cut a high branch that was in my shooting lane. I was feeling good about my abilities but I know my muscles are going to pay tomorrow. The hang-on took well over an hour and the ladder took ten minutes. You do the math.
Nothing to do now but wait.
