RE: Funny story of stupidity
If you are trying to put up a ladder stand take a couple of empty feed sacks, fill them about half way with sand and put them on the bottom rungs of the ladder. It won't kick up then. You need two people to put up most of the ladder stands anyway. Tie off the ladder before you try to climb up to secure the top, even if you have somebody to hold the ladder. The concussion should be better in a week or so.
