    Saw 2 yearlings about 30 minutes ago. Was a pretty slow morning over all. I’m out of the stand until tomorrow. Good luck to those of you hunting this afternoon.

    we do that for my uncle. He's too old to be humping up and down a tree but likes the comfort of a big API climbing stand. So one of us climbs up in the stand, the other flips the ladder sticks up, guy up in the tree ratchets the top of the ladder in tight and then climbs the ladder down. Looks weird at first but once it's up there it's actually a great set up.

    That double set up in your pic would be good for partner hunting or filming (minus the lack of cover.)

    Finally caught up on the thread. Congrats to those that have killed. Took my son and a couple of his friends goose hunting yesterday for youth day at the managed waterfowl area. Can be some tough hunting but we got a good draw and each kid got some shooting. Only killed 1 bird though but they all had a good time.

    I have this Thursday and Friday off work. Looking like temps will be a little better. Planning on possible all day sits if need be.

    As long as it's safe, looks like it is, I like it actually. Would have to see the whole tree to see why they did it like that and looks to be more of a gun set up than archery.

    kind of ingenious, actually. Seems like it would be noisy where the V meets the pole though.

    Question is do I just sit here like Forest Gump waiting on the bus bench and pray to get lucky or should I go with my original plan of public land hunting until day time pictures come ?
