BOWHUNTERCOP,
You made your point. You had some problems and you identified them in detail. As a forum member I appreciate that info, but it seems like you're beating a dead horse here. My opinion is that some of your complaints are legitimate, and others are just your opinion or preference.
Just curious, when you could not find your stand in the dark, had you seen it or been to it in the daylight? Or was it first time in? I usually don't mark my own stands with bright eyes.
