[QUOTE="hammer33, post: 5747173, member: 19900"] Glad you are on the mend. Took down a ladder today. One thing surprised me. The tree had grown over the last year and had created a little bit of a bow in the ladder. When I took the second (double strap the top in 2 locations) strap off the stand kind of sprung off the tree. Luckily my bil was holding the stand tight to the tree. After I unpuckered my bunghole. I noticed that the teeth of the stand were about an inch higher than the place they had dug into the tree. Even if you have safety in place, weird things can happen to a stand during the year that might create a dangerous situation. Honestly its getting to where I don't like ladder stands and I gave up on lock ons a couple years ago. [/QUOTE]
