I have a spot that a want to hang a new set , and the only good tree is a Shagbark hickory . In my 40 years of bowhunting I think I’ve only hung one set in a hickory . Do you guys hang sets in Shagbark Hickory’s if so yo see any problems in doing so ?

What would you consider to be acceptable stand access and egress such that you hadn’t messed up your spot while walking to, sitting, and exiting your stand?

I just finished my first turkey hunting season, now I am going to deer hunt with my bow but need a 2 person ladder stand. Reason for a ladder stand first is I want a 2 person to take my kid later on and since its on my property I don’t need to worry about moving it around all time. I will get a hang on later on but I want to focus on the ladder stand first.

Any good suggestions for 2 person ladder stand? I have been eyeing the Muddy Prestige 2 person.
Thanks

What are the climbing harnesses that you guys are using? I have a couple of the harnesses that came with stands, and another that I can’t recall the name of…but thinking of switching to a better system…

Recommendations?

I’ve always heard that the odds of killing a buck out of a particular stand is best the first time you hunt it. This has held true for me, as the majority of my bucks came in the first time in a stand. I’m just curious how many have killed good bucks after hunting a stand more than a couple times before. How many have made it happen, and how many times did you hunt it before you scored? Also, was it during rut?

I wanted some opinions on where YOU would hang your treestand(s) to hunt a big buck that has been spotted crossing the road where the red Drop Pin is on the creek. The farmer has mentioned seeing a big deer traveling that route. I’m trying to narrow down some pinch points to hang a couple of sets for different winds. My guess is he’s probably cruising clear across to the other side from West to the East so maybe a stand there where the creek meets the Far East fenceline would be good. Also the inside corners of the field intersections. Thoughts and opinions welcomed. Feel free to make your own marks or pins on the map and post where you’d hang a stand. Thanks

Im looking to purchase some new boots this year, i really only treestand hunt and was wondering what the best, all around stand hunting boot would be at a decent price (<150). Rubber or fabric?

Hey guys. I’ve never hunted out of a tree stand but am going to give it a try this year after some blacktails. Aside from the normal basic hunting gear what are some things you bring or set up your stand area to make the hunt more productive. Basically what are the must haves.
