i usually hunt from the ground. i hunted from a treestand 1 season, but i prefer to hunt from the ground. i think you are on the right track, though w/ your line of thought.<P>if you have access to private land, then you can easily get a bigger and heavier treestand and hang it well before the season starts and let it stay there until you are done for the year. i wouldn't do this on public land: good chance it won't be there next time. good luck!<P>------------------<BR>Hunting is not a matter of life or death. It is much more important than that.
