on the private land i hunt i leave my climber attached season round.( with a cable lock)

well, this year some trespasser took my cables and threw them about 10 feet away. i found them (in the dark) and got the stand back together after giving it a good once over.

i clipped my bow to the hoist string and up i went. get to the hieght and went to pull my string.... nothing!

the jerk cut the string about halfway, i never noticed it when i hooked it up!

now i'm super mad, and sweatin, and the suns coming up and i've got NO bow in the stand with me... BACK down the tree, splice my rope and UP again... needless to say, i pack my stand out from now on!
