    I've also had my cam hit the stand. Things happened fast and I tried to take a shot from a sitting position in my climber. Luckily it was a clear miss hitting the dirt about 4' in front of the doe. Lesson learned. Better to miss a shot opportunity from moving/making noise while standing up then to take a shot and have a miss or potentially injure an animal.

    Worked out in the end as the tag was used on a buck 3 weeks later.
