In the late 1980’s, a friend and I welded a bunch of what we called portable stands out of steel, with a chain that wrapped around the tree. These stands had a wooden seat bolted to them. I spent a lot of hours in these uncomfortable things, more standing than sitting because a half hour on that seat was long enough. Wish I would have weighed them, but I do know that it took some yeoman effort to get them up into the trees and get them fastened. Once in a good spot, I left them for years, and in fact, one of them is probably still in an oak tree on a friend’s property.
Deer and bears can catch you off guard when you’re in the stand and I always wanted to be ready for the shot. For many years I would never have considered reading a book while on stand and I hunted with my bow in hand for hours and hours. The thought of playing a game or texting on a device would have put me into convulsions.
