BAD DEAL MAN... CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY YA STILL HAVE A STAND...MY STORY TO FOLLOW.....
PRIVATE LAND (NOT MY OWN) I ONLY HUNT MY OWN GROUND ANYMORE
WAS ABOUT 3 YRS. AGO....HAVE HUNTED THIS PRIVATE LAND FOR YEARS....WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH OWNER (WHO DOESNT HUNT) HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR APPROX. 40 YRS.
ANY WAYS LONG HARD WALK TO STAND... MORNING PRE DAWN.
GET TO STAND... NOTHING NO STEPS NO STAND NO BOW HOIST ROPE...NOTHING....HAD SECOND STAND NOT FAR FROM WHERE THIS STAND HAD BEEN SO I GO THERE.......SAME THING..NOTHING
NO STEPS,ROPE,AND NO STAND. HMMM SO WENT TO ANOTHER WOODEN STAND (NOT MINE BUT KNEW WHO'S IT WAS) OLD WOODEN CONSTUCTED STAND BUT SAFE AND GOT THERE AND NO STEPS......SOMEONE MADE A HAUL AND SPENT SOME TIME UNSCREWING TRE STEPS AND DROPPING STANDS....SAT BY TREE AND WATCHED HUGE BUCK UNDER FIRST STAND....OR WHERE IT HAD BEEN...........NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS A LITTLE TICKED...
NEVER BEEN BACK......SHOT A BUCK AND A DOE IN SAME SITTING FROM SAME STAND THE YEAR BEFORE!
