Finally coolin' down, now Thwack. Have ya done any good? I went out a couple times since my first fiasco of the season and it just hasn't been a good year for anything. If it ain't the weather, I'm too busy, or if it ain't that, somebody's shellin' corn and it screws up my pattern and I spook 'em going in the woods, or if it ain't that, then it's somebody in my spot, if it ain't that then I just go and don't see anything or can't get one to come into range. Always somethin. I'm about over it. Seems like every time I go anymore I just waste my time for one reason or another. So many people hunt anymore, it's crazy. You can't get a good spot by yourself, even on your own land! Sometimes I think about hangin' it all up, but then I don't know what I'd do with myself. Make all these bows and arrows to hunt with and then just feel like I'm wasting my time when I go.

Its illegal to leave a tree stand in the woods on public land here...and besides that it's not really a good idea as all it does is tip off other lazy slob hunters that it may be a good spot to sit. I've gotten to where I will only hunt public land on week days, its a waste of time on the weekends cause everyone and there brother is hunting it on the weekends.

Ryan i agree!!As long as its not permanently affixed to the tree its legal here,but like you said its like a big "Deer Here" sign!
