hairless, I always pull my stands after season so I can inspect them at home and kinda give them a stress test by practicing out of them, even if it is only a few feet off the ground. I do not want to climb into that stand opening day only to find a squirrel has half eaten my ratchet strap. (After I get in it)[]Dang little critters eat anything.

This, along witht the other thread I posted this morning, I hope, will get people's attention and help them to be safe this season.
