wow pj, that is an adventure

ryan, sorry to hear about your plans falling thru.
ALWAYS try to have a back up. I hate having to trust people.

As for me I took a doe 30 minutes into my opening morning.
The evening sit I was hopeful of catching a nice buck, but only some turkeys, a half dozen does, and a nice red fox came thru.

Congrats rybo on that doe. Just finished hanging a stand in the area I arrowed that big buck last year. I was going to use my climber but decided because of the long walk to this spot i'd plut up a hang on. I did not want to be all sweated up carring everthing up a mountain into this spot. I am getting older. I forgot how much work it is to put up one of those hang-ons by yourself. Used amersteps and linemens belt. After screwing in all those steps in and hanging onto the tree my legs were shaking after finishing. I didn't hunt this spot until the rut last year, I may give it a shot once or twice before the rut. It a great spot with a west wind.

Its no fun to hang stands by yourself thats for dang sure, especially if you don't have a linemens belt. I want to go try to get permission at the farm across the road from the farm I've been hunting on but I don't really have much energy today, so today for me will just be a lazy day.
