Don't know when it happened,but it was fine at the start of bow season and thank goodness I wasn't in it for the ride down
After the dissappointment of losing my stand and the relief that I wasn't in it
This Old boy happened along

You are probably a victim of the environuts! You know, the people who want to turn the earth over to the animals and get rid of everybody but themselves.

Dangit' Jerry! Sure glad you weren't in it, woulda' been one heck of a ride down on a tree that big!

You've still got my address i hope from me buying the grill from you?
I'll be expecting some venison real soon!
Congrats on the season so far! Nice "typical" rack on that buck for sure, how wide was the spread?

i would think a carpenter could pick a tree that wasn't rotted

nice buck ya got

Good thing you weren't in it for sure, that would not have felt good at all! Congrats on the buck though he's got a decent spread on him.

Well at least your stand is there. I have had 2 stolen on my families own private land this year. Last weekend we setup cameras though. Gonna catch them a$$holes.Wish I had takin a picture, but one of them even had the decency to carve "finders keepers" in the tree.

That sucks about your stand. Congratulations on the buck though. I wish I would have got to go hunting this year. Deer and Elk are both draw hunts here in NM. It's been 8 yrs since I've drawn a tag of any kind.

Sorry about the stand, but you at least got to say, "The Buck stops here."

Dang.. Was that tree alive? Maybe you all have weak trees kinda like the Cedars I have up
in OK... Good thing you were not in it. I fell out of a tree stand flat on my back from about
25 feet, about 30 or so years ago. Trust me, you don't want to go there..
Knocked the wind out of me so bad, it seemed like 20 minutes before I could catch my breath.
But in my case, I grabbed the very top 2x4 "step" and the nails came loose.. I was holding the
step, and when it came loose, I started going backwards.. Nothing to grab.. zzzzzzzzzzzzz- BAM!
I even had time to think about it on the way down.. :/ It was a wonder I didn't break my neck
or back. I was internally bruised up for a while..

That's just plain messed up. I hope you guys catch them that would really tick me off, only trouble I've had this season is that a guy decided to sit his stand up 2 trees down right in front of my corn pile. That made me mad, then one morning when I went out there to climb up, I saw his truck on the trail and his butt in my stand .
