I must say antime I have a chance to be in the woods is a godsend, never really a bad time. Well for me the "worst hunt" was this year when I was getting ready to climb down and was squatted down on the platform on my climber putting the bunge cord around my boots and notice a movement coming to my left and was a beautiful 8 point walking directly under my stand. I watched him thru the meshing between my boots on my platform. He gets by me I stand up and nock an arrow, I stop him at 25 yards in some thick stuff, he never offered me a clean shot! I was bummed!!!!!! Still a great experience!!!!!!!!
