getting situated in yoiur stand

How long does it take you to get everything all situated when you get in your stand? This is not intended for those of you that film your hunts.

 

4 to 5 minutes. Cinch harness up tight around the tree,screw in my bow/pack hanger,hang pack,pull up bow,take quiver off bow and place in pack,knock an arrow,get a dip,then ready to rock and roll.

 

Depends on how much crap I pack, the weather, etc. I can be set in 2 minutes or >5. On an early fall hunt, it can be as little as 1 minute (The time it take to lock down the harness. I always hunt with quiver on.

 

I would say it depends on a lot of things. I use a climber, and the size/height of the tree matters some. Also, it depends on whether I forgot my headlamp... I would generally say it takes about 10 minutes from arrival to the tree, to ready to shoot. That's with unpacking and organizing my calls, scents, etc.

 

Sounds about the same for me. I try to organize things in my pack so what I need first is on top.

 

Sounds like about what it takes me.

 

I'm with ya.

Try to get everything situated before I sit down and chill out.

 

I'd say approximately 5 minutes. After I pick a tree I take off my climber and begin disassembling it. Then I attach it to the tree and tie on by bow rope. Once I'm up the tree I adjust my stand to give me the best possible view then I attach my harness, pull up my bow, put on my face mask, nock an arrow and I'm ready to go.

 

too long! Really, I am trying to figure out how I can shave time. probably 30 minutes. I primarily use a climber, so I have to unpack the stuff I have strapped to the climber (i.e. coat and pack). Hook up the pull up rope to the bow, put the pack on and put the coat on the climbing aid. Ascend the tree. Attach the tree part of the harness. Screw the bow holder in the tree. Pull the bow up, knock an arrow. Open the pack and get the release out and on my arm. Grab my grunt tube, hang that. Put my coat on. All the while in super slow motion as to not make any unnatural noise and being a

Early season when it is hot it takes me about 5 to 10 minutes. I put my shirt, harness and other stuff on at the base of the treestand so I do not sweat as much wearing it in. Now that the weather has changed to much colder/cooler temps, it takes me less than a minute. I can fully dress at the truck, walk in and secure my harness, nock an arrow and I am ready.

It takes me about 5 minutes or less. I primarily hunt from a ladder stand. I carry my pack with all my gear and I just hook it so it hangs from the side/hand rail. I leave the top unzipped so I can basically just reach in and get what I need during the hunt. Throw on any additional clothing or gear and I'm ready to roll.
