Guess you have done all you can for now. Seasons coming up soon though. Hope ya get one. I made a climbing stand way back yonder. Worked real well but it was made outta angle iron. Heavy ...but killed many many deer out of it. My son made one out of Aluminum angle in a shop class in school years ago. He and I both shot a lot of deer out of it too...as did my daughter. My grandson is using the same stands even today on my farm back east. The steel one stays on a favorite tree
