no seat or harness, just a couple of boards, and some cargo straps.

few years ago big windstorm blew through, hanging onto that tree for dear life, while it swayed to and fro, trees crashing down all around, was kinda sporty as it lasted over an hour.


but pretty tough to fill a freezer where I hunt without gaining a birds eye view.


may have to rethink how I'm doing things though.


appreciate your post and glad you weren't hurt any worse than what you were.



I do the same. Not usually 90 feet up, but often 30 or 40. I am damn careful about how I do it. Three points of contact at all times.....That's what you gotta do to hunt moose effectively where I hunt.

Glad you weren't hurt RH, maybe build a permanent stand with a ladder up to it?
