You guys aren't going to belive this!!!!

I went to my little sweet spot to put up my ladder to my stand today as I picked this spot for tomorrows opening day. Well when I got there the trees were gone! I mean cut clean piled up and ready to go. Now I had teo stands hanging so I went in and looked around one was still in the tree they haden't got to yet so I took that down the other was gone as was the tree it was in. I searched high and low and coulden't find it. I was on my way out and I saw a pile of hard wood trees so I climbed my way into them and you guessed it there on the bottom of the pile was the tree with my stand still on it. It was banged up but I was able to get it off the tree and I think its still useable. I sure hope this is not an omen of how my season is going to be. First all the problems with my bow and now this. Man this was such a sweet spot no one else ever hunted there and I took some really nice bucks out of there. I used to go there with my grand dad and my dad (god rest their soles) and started hunting there over 40 years ago. Man I'm loosing so many spots I am starting to see why a lot of older guys quit huntingthings like this are really hard on the heart I have a lot of great family memories from there. All smashed now. Opening day tommorow I don't even think I'll go out. Good Luck guys
