I did that...for about 30 minutes...I took out the choke and thought if a deer is close I'll shoot.I was sitting in an archery spot..window no farther than 30 yds..then I thought I'd probably mess up the threads..or maybe the end of the barrel..I simply humbled myself and came out of the tree ..

NOW..there was a lesson learned...I went home and changed the choke immediately..I had thought about changing it before but put it off..

Other lessons learned....

1. Make sure your climber is attached top to bottom with a rope

2. Carry 2 flashlights and extra batteries..a mile deep in a gator filled swamp without a light is not fun

3.Make sure you got your tree rope that hold you to the tree with ya.

4.Don't lay your bow to close to the tree..you may step on the string...and knock it off the pulies..} -;

5. Make sure of your tacks and don't stray off the path by following another 's trail tacks..you may need to double tack once in a while

6.Carry an extra truck key and hide it on your truck

7.Make sure your license is not expired.

8.Make sure your buck as antlers.

9.Don't assume another's wooden stand is not rotted. ]-; that one hurt

10.Make sure the correct choke is in the shotgun ..that was a new one.LOL

11.Carry a compass...no matter how well you think you know the 50,000 acre WMA



These are the lessons I've learned over my hunting career.
