I got it up!

jpo183 · Oct 25, 2014

You sicko. I got my deer stand up.

Really excited first time ever. With the assistance of daemon we were able to figure it all out and not fall. A bit of over kill have a safety line, lineman belt and a second attachment but hey I'm on the ground safely now.

Getting ready for Monday hunt!!

Keep an eye peeled for the fugitive woodsman from PA...

WHAT?

No parachute.

And that's one mighty fine walnut tree.

Where exactly is that? I see handmade furniture in my future...

Jefferson. There are a ton of them around. The stand is at about 15' sitting down around 18' in the tree. Would have gone a little higher but the tree was slanted and I could not get the climbing sticks to "tilt".

Hell of a downward shot.
my neck hurts

Ok. Tell the truth. Terra firma is just out of the frame, right? :lol:

Can't tell from pic, might invest in a prussic line if you don't already have one. It's full time security. Have fun and happy hunting!

Remember, safety first. You can never over kill on that

this... hospital bills cost more than safety harness or safety line.

Over 50% of MD hunting injuries are from the treestand! You can never be too safe

I guess he was looking at the attachments (pics) when he got it up.

Now that he's got it up I'm sure that's his intention............ :bannana:

Lou lol.

Yea I have a safety line with a prusik rope attached. I also have a secondary line at the top to clip into. I felt 100% safe up there.

You're welcome, Jon.

I was only there for adult supervision...

15'??

Around here an open stand like that would need to be over 30' with brushy bits under it or all you'd get was snorts and a flash of white! Dumb things have been smarted up by Yahoo's that can't sit still .... grumble mumble mumble

Couldnt go any higher and that was the only tree with a good field of vision. I can sit still ive hunted from a natural ground blind and havent been spotted.

The other issue was the tree slants and the sticks could not connect any higher. I did not feel comfortable strapping the stick straight to the tree without any downward support.

I got it up!
