Yesterday we stayed out all evening watching fields. I used my stand for a little more than just practice. We got out into the field a little after 5 and we stayed out 'til after 9:30. The tree I picked was a little difficult as it had a split and it also had a branch that was in the way. I went up just fine even though I had to get around the branch and that included kneeling on the seat. On the way down however, as I was kneeling on the seat, I ripped the rest of the nylon straps holding it to the frame. So now I have no seat for my stand, which isn't the worst thing in the world. I could just use it as is, but I think I'd rather be able to sit down. Most likely I'll just be buying a replacement seat, but I could rig something up from home that might work.
Overall it was a good experience scouting and even though I didn't see anything, my friend did. So we know they're out there. Next time we'll change locations a bit. Hopefully I'll have a seat by then. I did get some pictures and tried to take some video, but it's not great so I may or may not post it. Stay tuned.
Thanks for reading.
