I have gutshot....it's just that I've seen SO MANY more deer when I have been in a treestand.....and I really don't mind the height...I actually enjoy it....If I wasn't so damn nervous I'd be fine.
I really think everybody has given me good advice....force myself to face it and get over it.
ORIGINAL: gutshot
Have you ever thought of just getting a ground blind instead of treestand? I'm a little squeemish when it comes to heights and before I overcame it I just ground hunted and to this date my 2 best bucks have come off of the ground. Just a thought.
