Good morning gone bad

What a great morning.
Got up, was going to load the ATV and the throttle cable was frozen.

I moved it out of the way and got ATV #2 and went hunting.

I was cover up with deer from the minute I got in my tree. Popped 2, never got a clean shot at #3. Deer #4 & 5 stayed low where I don't/won't shoot 'em.

Deer #6 was dead in her tracks but the bright morning sun put a glare on my scope so bad I could not see to shoot.

Got down, loaded my deer and then I saw it.

the "V" bracket on my summit has broken away from the main frame.

I'm not sure it's safe to climb with and I cannot weld aluminum.

Two does are home and i'm grounded

Aluminum can be tricky to weld for sure.... May be time for a new stand $\:\)$

If I can tag out and bust 3 does, I'll do it.

It's all about Freezer space $\:D$

I know but Summit doesn't make this stand any more and I LOVE it. I had planned to keep this one as long as I could. Guess I now how long that was now $\:\($

Summit will fix the stand for free if I'm not mistaken.

I'm going to contact them but I'm hesitant to do so because this stand is 12 years old.

Summit has excellent customer service and they stand behind their products. But I kind of feel like I'm taking advantage of them if I expect them to repair or replace a 12 year old stand. I've more than gotten my money's worth.

I'd go out right now and just by another one just like it if they were available.
