What Did You Do Today?
bjrogg:
Fantastic Clint.
I’m sure you both will remember that for a long time. And hopefully they get into helping with the processing too. Always good to have a little help in that department

He did most of the processing on both of his deer. I showed him how to do a couple things but he did 90% of the work.
Allyn T:
I love processing deer, glad he is doing it. I bet it was super fun bringing in a new hunter
Eric Krewson:
I hunted for three hours out of this stand a few weeks ago, I found the seat is not made for an old man's bony butt, very uncomfortable.
I decided to get off my wallet and buy a loc-on with comfortable seat so I bought a Millenium monster stand.
I swapped them out yesterday, quite a task for a 75 year old guy, both the old and the new stand are heavy, awkward and a chore to take down and install while hanging suspended on a climbing pole in a combination lineman's belt and tethered safety harness, it took me an hour and half to make the swap. It was a Tylenol night last night because so many of my body parts were aching.
Just a heads up; I have found that adding an extra section of climbing pole up past the stand is an invaluable hand hold and aid for transferring oneself from the pole to the stand. When I was young and flexible with the agility of a monkey, transferring from the pole to the stand wasn't a problem for me like it is now. You can't see it well in the dark picture but there is a lifeline running up the climbing pole and several feet up past the top of the stand that I hook into when I leave the ground.
My shooting rail frame is about 1/2" too thick at the prongs to go behind the stands seat support post, I am going to alter it to fit today.
The deer have stopped coming to my food plot, this is a good thing because it has been growing again after being mowed to the ground by the deer, later in the year when the weather gets really cold and other food sources dry up the deer will come back to it. This plot is in the woods, I had just blown the leaves off of it before I took this picture. The leaves would be as thick as the ones in the foreground if I didn't blow them off weekly.
bjrogg:
Looks like a really nice stand Eric. I know I can’t sit like I use to either. Even in a comfortable seat I still end up switching between sitting and standing a lot just to keep everything working.
You will be rewarded by your efforts yesterday in your future hunts.
