Ok, I feel a little foolish even asking this, but, this is what happened. Last fall I put up a tree stand around the end of August (our archery season for deer opens Sept 1). I shot a deer from a ground blind a few days later, but thought a friend might use the stand. Later when elk hunting, I hurt my hip enough that it was very painful to try to climb anything. I figured I would go back and get the stand and climbing sticks when my hip didn't hurt so much.
Well, I got so busy with things, I forgot the stand and it has been up this whole time, along with the safety rope with Prussic knot, and climbing sticks.
My question is, will the straps and rope be okay, or (as I am thinking) should I replace the straps, rope, etc.
I can't believe these things out there slipped my mind, I sometimes wonder if senility is creeping up on me - lol.
