azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted October 5, 2020 How many of you get a little on edge in a tree and you start rockin a little lol. I haven’t used a stand much but have been in one for a few days now. I won’t lie it takes some getting used to. It’s a pretty neat vantage point though when deer come in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elkaholic Report post Posted October 5, 2020 I'll only go up in a ladder stand anymore,! Some of the climbing ones are way safer than they use to be! The swaying is not so bad but the creeeking and a popping noise makes ne a bit nervous , w hen the woods are silent. I've had owls scare the crap out of me too. During that pre dawn sitting.

azbirdhunter88 Report post Posted October 5, 2020 People can say what they want but there’s nothing like being in a tree moving a foot both ways ( ya a freak wind storm blowing 25-30 hit last night ). I was just curious about everyone else’s thoughts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curtis Reed Report post Posted October 5, 2020 I was up 20’ in a small platform tree stand one morning when it was still pitch black and I could hear and feel this dang bat fly past my face about 30 times in a 20 minute time span. I had nowhere to go and couldn’t see anything. That sucked. It got within an inch or two every time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It doesn’t matter what stand. A little swaying is one thing but when a tree moved in both directions at the same time. I pop alittle . Last trip I got chased off a stand by hail 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
