Last year in Shawnee National Forest on our annual hunting trip my most disappointing moment happened. After only a half hour in the stand the wood exploded. Four does sprinting around like they has lost there mind. So I stood up preparing for the big boy. Ten min later... nothing. So I sat back down and waited patiently fro any more passer buys. Right after I sat down a very nice tall racked 8 point come following the path the does had taken. Only on problem some how my frickin' stabilizer got tied up in the front bar of my climbing stand (still not really sure how? think the front tip got wedged under the zip tie of the foam pad). I struggled with that for what felt like forever and by the time I look up he is right on me looking right at me. AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Well being the hunting that I am I still stood up and by the time I got to full draw he was 40 yards looking striat back at me in between about 50 trees. You better believe that bar no longer exists!
