Worst day ever...
I left early from work to get into the tree. Went behind the recycling center. I hadn't been there in a little while and thought that I might be able to see a buck there. I got to my spot around 2:30 and noticed from down the hill that there were two deer walking in at the same time as me. I put my stand in the tree...i could barely get in it because my back hurt so much. I finally did get in and couldn't get the stand to climb up the tree. My legs just couldn't pull the bottom up. I decided that I needed a smaller diameter tree. I found one a little closer to the road and I put my stand on. Again I had a hard time getting into the stand and I fought to get the stand up the tree. I didn't go too high because I just couldn't move it any more. I sat there until dark...I did see one doe closer to the path at almost dark. Now for the climb down. It was nearly impossible. It was so painful I honestly thought I was going to get stuck in the tree. I did get down (obviously) but the pain it caused in my back is tremendous and now my right leg is numb. I think my hunting days are done for a while.
