Did a little practice today with the new treestand.  To answer your question yes my wife was out.  Opener can't come any sooner.

Did you make sure you had a safety harness on?  Those 2 inch falls can be killer!!!!    :D  

I am lucky enough to have full sized trees at my house and I have a stand set for practice as well as a very lovely arrow retriever, my wife!!  

I've setup a blind to practice from in the back yard...but theyre suppose to be on the ground. Lol. Whatever works for you.

My neighbors must know when my wife is out if town because I break out my 10' A frame ladder and shoot.  Whatever works till I can get in the woods.  Yeah my dad said that's probably the highest he'll go also
