This will be my third full season of hunting whitetail, but I have always hunted from the ground. I bought a Summit Viper SD and will be using it approximately about half the time (I love to still-hunt). I have practiced going up a tree a few times and have had no problems at all. Once you’re up there, space seems a bit tight. Can any of you discuss what kinds of problems with accessing gear, or getting cold (or too hot) -- or whatever else you can think of – that you have encountered while on the stand and your solution to those problems?
Two things I already know…always wear your safety harness and don’t forget to attach your haul lines before climbing.
