I just sat another 5 hours in a tree stand….

No deer were harmed during this Muzzleloading event….unfortunately.🤷‍♂️
I like your woods. I could sit for hours there alone with a flintlock rifle, powder horn and possibles bag and wouldn't mind if I didn't see anything. Of course I would be sitting on the ground with my back next to a tree. If I live and nothing happens and the good Lord willing I will turn 67 in a couple weeks. Forty years ago when I was in the army and using a knock off of a Baker stand I got a work out hugging a tree and pulling myself up, scratching up my arms wearing short sleeves before the weather got too cold. Then the doggone thing would tilt and nearly dump you out. Fortunately I never fell but you had to be careful how you would shift around in that thing. Still got it hanging in the garage.

lol. them baker stands were a workout. used one long time ago. don't matter how cold you going sweat. even when u tied your jacket with a rope to pull up. don't miss them stands
 
Was finally able to solder the trigger guard i snapped right at the point where the curl ends into the front flat part tryin to slightly bend it. I've ever had much luck soldering copper pipes but was happy I got this done. It did take me a couple tries but you have to learn somewhere.


I also ordered a new trigger guard for my Jukar kentucky rifle to customize it a bit.
