I picked up a treestand last winter right after the holidays (got it on clearance) and just got around to unboxing it this morning. It's all put together and loaded in the truck. I'm heading to my friends house later this morning to set it up. It's going to be nice to bow hunt on private property. Antlered archery opens this weekend if I remember correctly.
If you get a chance to shoot a pic when you get your stand in the tree, would appreciate seeing your spot.
Good looking lanes and open spots. It's always amazed me how deer won't look up seeing a hunter in a stand. Even if you're level to them across a small valley. That's in Maine anyway... prolly different where deer have to worry about big kitties in trees. Good luck this year.
Getting close to time . With the stand up now , it will give the deer time to get used to it. Not sure how much odor it has, did you spray it down with some scent blocker ?
That's why I always use hang ons, because you can hide in the limbs. Never been a fan of ladder stands, because it is hard to make them look natural. Good luck hunting this year and wear a harness when in a tree, to many people think they are safe even in a ladder stand.
