I must be lucky but not enough luck to win large sums of cash in a lottery.
I have been spared 2 treestands over the last few years. Does anyone have similiar stories to share?
Stand 1 - A few years ago I left a treestand in the woods for 2 years. The area dried up on sign so I abandoned it. I finally got around to getting the stand out. The stand was set back off the road about 1/2 mile or 3 ridges. The area was cut over heavy with no selective cutting. They took every tree in the area so it looked like a nuclear bomb went off. I climbed the last ridge and wallah...there she is. The only tree left right dead center in a 300x300 yard area had my treestand in it. (stand got stolen the following year)
Stand 2 - I knew they were cutting in the area of my treestand but far enough away where I wasn't too concerned. Again, I left the stand out 1 year too long and when I went to retrieve it they cut the edge of the cutdown right to my stand. Now my stand is overlooking a giant cutdown but spared. There was alot of deer sign but I didn't want to leave it no longer.
