I went out today and got a good bit done, but I was really frustrated. I wanted to get all 11 of my spots completely done. I only got 8 of them done. Which means after I get back from our little get away I will still have 3 stands to finish up. One just needs some limbs trimmed. Another needs a few more tree steps screwed in and a new strap put on the stand. The third one needs to be completely set up. I bought a pack of straps at Walmart and the straps were backwards so I couldn't put the stand up. I was so mad. Good luck to you guys that started hunting already. Keep us up to date
