I emptied my basement and garage of every tree stand I owned, 13, I delivered the last load yesterday to a buddy that does all presets, my tundra was squatting as I rolled down the driveway, I won good money in 2/3 of the bucks contests I was entered in this year, when that 20% off gift card deal appeared I couldn’t press the button fast enough, the idea of the .5 for me is to replace all this other stuff I had accumulated being that I am 100% mobile anyways and go down to one kick ass stand combo, I still like a stand for most of the hunting I do and will keep a small platform around for days I want to be super light, I hate having lots of stuff it drives me nuts, I want the best of one thing and keep it simple, I would rather adapt as I go with one combo then have multiples of different set ups and constantly changing through out the season, will this .5 be that, time will tell, I sugar coat nothing regardless of what I spent on it and hopefully this ends up working for me. Nothing drives me more crazy than digging through a pile of gear like a stack of tree stands looking for something during the peak of the rut when I should be focused on killing, maybe I am a weirdo but my stuff is packed and ready to go a month before season, I leave nothing to chance, my success in the last few years on mature animals has gone up greatly when I am dialed in and organized before season and focused on the task at hand, killing good bucks.
