Cleetus

I leave my ladder stands out all year long. I have one ladder stand that has been out for 4 years now. All I do is check the straps to make sure they are secure. My other stand is a climber and I take it with me every time I get done hunting for the day, unless I am going out the next day and hunting the same tree. I also hunt on private land, so I don't worry about having my stands stolen.
