Strut10 Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Got the last of my stands hung yesterday. Also changed out a couple climbing sticks for tree ladders.........easier for Mama and the kids to climb. Problem is.......I'm outta stands and there's a couple more locations I need to hang one. Now that I've got the Mrs. and 2 kids that hunt, I've gotta have several locations with dual stands. I'm out of treestands!! Looking like a call to Sportsman's Guide is in the near future. I was 20 feet up a tree yesterday hanging one over my powerline plot and a 'yote started raising cain out the flat behind me. Actually it was just about under another of my stands. I had a pistol on my hip. But the Jeep was parked smack under me. So I figured no use to start calling to it. He could end up in some trouble if he wants to keep howling from that area when season comes in Saturday. Ended up nhaving to put up an unexpected stand. I replaced the climbing stick on a double hang-on location that the boy & I hunted many, many times last year with a tree ladder. On the way back out I drove (on one of my woods roads) past a rub. I backed up and started looking up through the brush and saw about 4 or 5 more in a very defined rubline. No huge trees. Nothing bigger than my wrist. But that's bigger caliber trees than I usually see hit this early. I put a stand about 10 yards off the road crossing (it's pretty tight in there......thick........couldn't get any farther away). I believe I'll be waiting in ambush there next Saturday morning to see what shows up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Cool. Ohiobucks is in search of a new stand too. The wind storm on the 14th split the maple tree his stand was in. One half of the tree fell right straight down flattening his stand and all of the climbing sticks. No huge trees. Nothing bigger than my wrist. But that's bigger caliber trees than I usually see hit this early Dare I say..........Gary Ault is a genius? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
