You would NEVER catch me in a stand. I sit on a log. sit on a rock, tree stump, whatever. I even sleep on a log.

Sure it cost me a few deer, but who cares.

and I can't sit for more than 3 hours. I need to move around. can't do that in a stand.

When do you put on your harness?

Yup, wear a harness, and try a ladder stand. I'm afraid of heights, but the harness makes me feel much better. Also,the more I'm in the stand, the less afraid I am.

Ladder stand with a shooting rail that comes down and wraps around you. Makes you feel very secure. Heck the platform on my ladder stand is so large I can stand and stretch and still feel comfortable, plus its only 17 ft.
