Head out yesterday evening to hunt a stand right on the edge of a swamp. I put the stand up back in August in prime location. I am totally scent free and sneaking in as quiet as possible......I am hunting the bed!!!!. Get the tree, tie my bow to the rope, climb up 3 steps on my climbing stick and reach for my climbing belt on my seat of pants harness. You know the one thats in the little pouch above your butt, wrap it around the tree and hook it up. I get up to the stand, now its time to reach around again and get the rope cinch, wrap it around the tree and hook up my main harness belt, cool I am almost there. Now I unhook my climbing belt which is a total pain because I have a back pack on, my other harness belt is pulling on me, and those clamps are a pain to undo one handed. Well I finally get it unhooked so I can get into the stand. The belt flys around the tree at lightning speed and BLAM! hit my metal climbing stick! making enough noise to wake the dead![:@] I am really cussing right now while I am climbing into the stand. Pissed and sweating I start to screw in my bow holder, guess what it won' t go into the tree.. crap[:@], now I am really sweating and mad so I try another spot...finally got it in. I have sweated so much getting into the tree I am having to spray down again, got a new back pack and now I can' t remember which pocket I put my Scentshield in[:@]. The darn thing must have 20 pockets, I have so much stuff with me I feel like I am turkey Hunting. Now I am really cussing myself. Well you can pretty much guess it I did' nt see any deer[

]! So right around dark I pull the rope up and tie my bow up to lower it. I start to lower it and the rope starts to come untied, I catch it the bow as it is falling Blam!! hits the base of my stand! Scares away whatever deer was around. I get down finally in one piece and head back to the truck. When I get to the truck I fell something wet all over my hand, I turn on the truck light and my whole hand is covered with blood[

]. Appaerntly when I caught my Bowtech bow I grabbed under the quiver ( It was dark now!) and you can pretty much guess that it was me not the deer that got the wrong end of the broadhead[>:]. I sat down on my ATV and slammed a cold one! I love bowhunting!!!
