Man, I can't believe you gave up so easy. You could've thrown your bow up to knock em off, then your left boot, then your right boot, then ....

What a great story and you told it well!! But I was laughing so hard that I had to stop and go back to the beginning...After that, I'm not so sure you should try to cut that tree down yourself!!   :bigsmyl:  I'm guessing its gonna fall right on those pretty arrows!!

That's exactly what I was thinking PaPa!  Same goes for the climbing stand idea - a bad situation just waiting to get worse.  I say three strikes and the tree deserves to win!
Great story!  We all feel for ya' brother!

I think I'd try using an old bowfishing outfit to knock my arrows outta da tree.  At least you could retrieve the same arrow and keep trying. It's also a lot cheaper than a SGH.    :smileystooges:
