RE: What is the hardest task about hunting for you?
Bro you can't be that cheap..Geez you can pick up a stand that weighs 1/2 that at D!cks, Sportsmans Guide, etc etc for well under $150 bucks.
Heck My Chiropractor bill would be double that, if I carried a 40 lb stand and gear to some of my spots every hunt.
Plus I bet it really limits where you'll go..thus infringing on your ability to be successful! I carry a 14 lb lone wolf and sometimes after a few mountains it feels like I'm carrying the Tree too!
