Funny. Send it to the stand manufacturer.
I once shot at a bear with my muzzleloader. The shot was deflected by a branch about 6 inches from the muzzle, but the startled bear ran right to the base of my tree and started climbing. He then decided to run up the mountain. After that, I noticed some claw marks on the tree's branches, so I knew this was a tree the bear had climbed before. Later in the season my padded seat on the stand was ripped off. Found it on a deer trail all chewed up.
