ScottyLuck Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Well out of the 14 stand sets that I have out only one sustained some damage. The top step on one set of sticks was hit by one or both of the trees in the following pics. Bent it about 20 degrees or so. Could've been worse. The stand was on the opposite side of the tree so it survived. After finishing up the damage assessment on all my sets I was pleasantly surprised. We only had to do some minimal trimming and clearing. I hunt in areas where there are a lot of diseased hemlocks. I was expecting things to be much worse. Hopefully everyone else fared as well as I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 That was close. I imagine there were a few that got wiped out. I need to go and check my stands up on the reservoir. The one I have on my spot I'll be hunting close to home was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
