No, I never leave anything in the woods except once I left my virginity.

Nope, me either. I hunt all private land, but I still wouldn't do it. Too much money to just leave it.

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.
A couple years ago me and my dad hunted this spot, then the next year me and a buddy went out there and i went to the area my dad hunted. I picked a tree and got about 20' up to find a bowhanger. Then I remember from last year my dad saying he forgot his in the tree, but it wasnt worth walking all the way back for. Needless to say i brought it back to him.

There is no way I'm leaving my bow out in the woods. You never know what could happen to it overnight. I didnt pay all that money on something to have it messed up. Probably the stupidest idea ive heard of.

I would not leave it overnight, but I have left it after the morning hunt knowing I'm going to hunt the same stand that afternoon. I hunt on my own land but still would not leave it overnight. My hunting partner left his in one of our stands one night this season and it rained all night. What a dumbass. He said, well I was going to hunt there in the morning. His release froze solid. It was ruined. It was a 70 dollar scott release.

People must be a lot more honest in your neck of the woods. I've had a 150$ trail CAM and a 200$ Tree Lounge taken from my own property.

I agree that my bow goes in with me and out with me. I would never consider leaving it in the woods.
