Leaveing stands out all year?
I have 3 ladder stands on the place I hunt and up until this year I have always took them down when deer season was over,and then put them back up late Aug First of Sept.The problem is that the land owner will not allow me to use my ATV on the property,but im okay with that,because im the only one he allows to hunt his 105 acres for free.But them ladder stands get awful heavy lugging them around.So im gonna climb up them and take the rachet strap off and leave them chained to the tree,and then come aug or sept,i'll just put the strap back on.Will this hurt the stand?
