    I am selling my favorite treestand. With the kiddos hunting now I just can't sit in a tree by myself anymore. There is nothing wrong with this stand, it is fully functional, I just do not use it anymore. It is lightweight yet all metal- no cables to wear out and break. Asking $60

     

     

    PM if interested.

    Those are good points you made. I could care less how others hunt as long as they don't effect my experience via poaching etc. You take your animal when and where you want...and I'll take mine if I am that lucky.

     

    I have to admit that for a long time I wanted a GIANT coues. After shooting a decent one a couple of years ago...really don't care how big or small it is now. I would just rather be out there. (Don't get me wrong though...I still would like to shoot a 100" buck)

    Grounds Blinds for me! Treestands are great but not very conducive to hunting with little kids or other individuals. Like others have said- more secluded/shelter in a ground blind. Hat's off to you recurve guys, that is one area I have not gone to just because of the difficulty...I have yet to kill a buck with a compound haha.

     

    Our ancestors used to cover themselves in mud and fecal matter when they hunted....I have chosen to forego that method of hunting, I like my little blind. It cost me $40. I will be mad if it ever gets stolen but I didn't break the bank for it either.

    I have never been one to spend BIG $$$ on my boots. The most I have paid for a pair was $130. My suggestion would be find a pair that will fit the terrain you'll be in, the weather which you plan to be in AND that feels comfortable to your feet.

     

    I have 2 pairs right now. One is a decent pair from bass pro shops (their brand) that I use for the majority of the year. I have a completely different pair for wet/snowy & cold weather. I love both and didn't have to break the bank. My cold/wet weather pair of boot have much less miles on them.

     

    For me comfort is the key. If I am going to be on them ALL day then I want a pair that wont make me swear. IMO

    If I am back in far I field dress and then carry it back to my vehicle. I keep my heads intact with the skin to show the family and for pics later. I just think it looks better and don't want to gross my little girls out. I always bring coolers with dry ice and bone out, dry and ziplock all my meat before I even hit the road. I actually really like doing it that way so when I get home everything is just ready to be placed in the freezer and I am in no hurry as I know the meat will be fine on the drive home. I have never paid for a butcher for any animal.

     

    I do keep some steaks from freezing though. Fresh meat always tastes the best.
