I'm lucky I can still use a 250 lb. carrying capacity treestand. Used one tree stand, cause it was the only one I could use at a time.
Had a fella sit at the base of one tree I had used. Must have figured out that someone got there first and took it. Probably never thought of someone using one treestand and taking it with him, when he left.
I Guess if you only have one tree stand, you don't hunt a lot of different property's? or a property with a lot of acres?? that you like to move about for change of scenery at times??
I started off making my own stands, many yrs back before commercial one's were even on the market
them up graded and then added more and more over the yrs, so every time I hunting I didn;t have to carry one in, and set up and take down
too much wasted energy for me to do that every where I hunted, not to mention space in the truck when traveling to hunt??
but I can agree, ONE good stand in ONE good place, is all anyone might ever need
I had (owner sadly passed away of lung cancer)
but I had one stand set up there for 15+ yrs, and it produced time after time, was one of the best if not my best places to hunt, deer just went past that stand like they HAD TOO! LOL
Man I miss My friend there and, his land as well!
