Is This Practical?
I just got permission to hunt a tract of land close to my home. The owner says no building stands, because of tresspassers and the possibility of them getting hurt. Climbing stands are not practical here. However, he said treesteps were ok. Is it practical to screw in steps in all the trees I plan to hunt, and just haul in my fixed position stand? Its a chain on, weighs about 9 lbs, and I carry a ratchet strap with me to ensure the bottom stays in place. I set it up in my yard, and its quiet and fairly easy to do, however the difference between 5pm in the yard, and 4 am with the anticipation of the hunt is night and day (no pun intended). I' m just wondering if anyone else does this, and if anyone has any tips. Thanks.
