Arrowsmith, standing on the small bars, spikes and small platform. How do you keep your feet from getting fatigued?

Arrowsmith, standing on the small bars, spikes and small platform. How do you keep your feet from getting fatigued?

You can sit with your knees against the tree which takes all weight off your feet. You can also sit sideways with your right or left thigh against the tree. I haven't had any problem with foot fatigue, but my sits usually are 4-5 hours max.

Since I am posting I will give an update. We have been having beautiful weather up here for December. Temps in the mid 60s for a high for several days. It rained all day yesterday as the cold front approached and today we have a 4-5" of snow.

I did not buy a Season 1 gun tag, but I did buy a Season 2 gun tag which opened this morning. Not sure I am going to shoot one, but it's going to be fun hunting in the snow. If I see areally nice buck that ain't busted up I might let the .450 Bushmaster eat.

You are probably heading up I-35 but if you get over east a bit come by and visit.

So does the cat stalk the deer? Those pics are hilarious. It doesn’t seem to bother the deer!

Beautiful pics.

The stalking cats are famous

Thanx for the response. I have started buying my accessories (ring of steps), probably gonna buy my saddle and ropes today....not sure about platform and climbing sticks.

Here is a short video of my climbing method and platform. I aborted the second video that I mentioned. The selfie function on my phone while in the tree doesn't give much clarity. I need a camera person.[emoji1]

I did a little still hunting today. I walked about 2-3 miles. I saw several deer and a coyote.
