Took advantage of the weather and starting taking down my hang- on stands.  Was able to get 7 down this afternoon after i got home from work at  noon.  As well as loostening straps on  5 ladders..   lots more to go over next 2 months but off to good start.  

Stands stored till  summer when they will  be checked cables repaired and straps replaced. Before reinstallation in july.

I've got 3 cams I need to pull and a ground blind.  Never loosened straps on my ladder stands.  Each one has two straps. I cut off the oldest in the late summer, and replace with new. Repeat the following yr.

I do it for tree growth more than worried about strap wearing. They are checked and replaces  in summer  every year.
