And you've still only evolved to "most of the time". SMH

my area has very few people hunting and not many people live in this area , its 8 miles to the Canadian border/ Northern Minnesota all the land around there is private, i am in a tamarac swamp on my own land . this year my rifle stayed in the stand loaded for 10 days and not even a human track near my stand within a 1/2 mile its very wild i see martins most days by my stand , fishers some days even a Lynx this year 40 feet from me laying down looking at me and always deer around, i am 1 mile from my old cabin too 1 1/4 miles from a dirt road. it is not the same as where most people hunt ,park at to hunt or live by to hunt .

I still don't understand why you're fine with walking to and from your stand unarmed?

For me- that only happens in pitch darkness, WTF am I going to use the deer rifle on in the dark?[/quote

yep when i am in the stand before light and don`t leave tell after sunset or dark and nobody is in the woods on private land 1 mile from any road and in a swamp why worry besides not many people even know i have a stand back there ?



That’s “exactly” what I thought…..and then my tree stand was stolen! Jus Say’n memtb
