    Thanks man! The private land I hunt is over 2 hours from where I bought my house. I was having trouble getting help when I could myself get up there so I got impatient and tried to move a 20’ ladder stand on my own. All I needed was someone to hold the bottom. Well I got to the top and tried get a strap over a limb and the bottom gave and stand tipped and down I went. Just stupid.

    Dangit man! I've hung a bunch of those ladders by myself and was always afraid of this. I guess I better quit doing that. Glad you wasn't hurt worse.

    That's a nice buck! Hopefully you stick an arrow in him. It's going to be hot here for at least another two weeks. I'm over it.

    Aw man sorry to hear about that. I completely get it though because I find myself moving stands by myself a lot. Just a pain to get everyone scheduled. But in the future here is what I would do if you find yourself in that situation. Before running the ladder up the tree attach a rope to each side of the stand that wraps around the tree. Once you have the ladder up the tree, jump on the bottom rung to seat it in the dirt. Next I take a ratchet strap and connect to the bottom of one leg run it around the tree and connect to the other leg. Adjust till its snug and leave it be. Then I grab the ropes that hang down from the top of the stand and wrap around the tree and tie to the ladder. Make sure both are secured. Thats should hold it until you can get up there to put on the main strap to secure it. I then remove the strap at the bottom and leave the rest in place.

    Hope you feel better soon.

    Great idea. I set a lot of double stands for friends and family and this would help tremendously.

    Anyone ever shoot 3D. Me and some buddies shot this morning. We shot from the 40plus yard marker. I shot decent at first but kinda fell off towards the end. Still a fun morning.

    I use to shoot 3D all year long but I kinda got away from it due to lack of ranges in my area. We found a new one a month or so ago. So we've been going every week getting ready for season.

    I mainly shoot at a state park that has like 15 targets or so and my shop has a 30 target range. Theres a couple clubs around that have shoots too. I got first place at one. Shoot this summer and third at two others. So placed everytime with my hunting rig haha. Was a good year for me. Thought about buying a 3D bow for next year but the wife wants me to chill out on so many hobbies

    Depends on how far I am from the truck. If it close he might be in trouble. :-)
