So I’m just now getting to the point that I can even talk about this. I did a really dumb and expensive mistake about a week ago, as of this post. Still makes me sick to my stomach and is not like me to let something like this happen.
I came out of the woods and walked back to my car with all my gear hanging on me. Set everything down and opened up the car and piled in everything to leave. It was dark out of course. I apparently piled everything in except 1 thing… my Beast stand. It wasn’t until over a day later that I realized I was missing it. It occurred to me it was gone while getting ready for another week long hunting trip… at like 11:30 pm. Went to the places I could have set it here at the house and nothing, not in the car etc.
I had nothing else I could do but get in the car right then and drive an hour to the public ground parking area just to check and see if by some miracle it was there. Of course it definitely was not. But at least I looked and might be able to sleep a hair better. Got back to the house at 2am with no stand. What a dumb oversight that was. I sure hope whoever found my stand and drove off with it appreciates my generous donation.
I don’t have the stomach to spend that much money on a stand again. So I jumped on the Novix Black Friday sale and bought another Helo. It is a great stand but it’s not the Beast stand for sure. Live and learn I guess. Hopefully I’m not the only one on earth that has done a bone head move like this before.
