Not a snowbals chance in hell. I have issues with bears climbing my stands at times so i go with a big no. Also i would not like the fact of a cloud coming ovver in the night an dumping some rain on the unit. Also I go with a totally different approach in the mornings most times.

There's a guy that comes in our shop that leaves his up all season. I won't do that....and I haven't left mine up....yet. I might next year, though. Problem is.....in hunting 46 times, this year....I hunted the same tree 2X.

By accident or on Purpose?? In either case no is my answer.

I do however have Bow Holders screwed into tress acrossed 2 States! I always forget them! So next time you find an ideal tree in Ohio Or PA and there is already a bowholder at 18ft send me some thanks.

I have never left mine in the stand over night but I do leave it in if I get out of the woods in the morning and then plan to hunt in the afternoon. I don't have the problems of trespasser and poacher that I hear about others having.

Wow.... I guess he doesn't believe in practicing with his hunting equipment.

I have never left the bow, but have left the quiver hanging on the hook.
