WHAT A NEAT DEER STAND!!!


How many ways are there to hunt deer?
-stand
-still hunting
-stalking
-pushing
-using dogs
-???? how many more ways

I would think that the terrain would eliminate some options but ultimately there are several different approaches for chasing that whitetail. I grew up stand hunting (mainly sitting on the ground up against a tree). As I grew older I built many different types of tree stands. Some of these stands were probably as dangerous as trying to wrestle an alligator but it was sure fun fabricating the idea. Later I got into box or tower stands. These were more comfortable than the rickety wooden structures I put in acceptable trees. I really enjoy hunting out of tower stands. On cold days I could take a little heater with me to keep toasty! One thing I miss though when hunting in a tower stand is the close proximity of the wildlife. Other types of stands (climbers, ladder, and lock-ons) have you right there with the game. The sounds of the rustling leaves, squirrels so close you can touch, and the feel of the fall breeze can put you in a trance. 

There are definitely many different ways to hunt deer. I would love to have the one in the picture above. That is so cool!!! What type of ways do you hunt deer? What is your favorite way?

  1. Personally I have only hunted once and it was duck or something liked that so we sent dogs after them to get them to fly in the air then one person shot at them and we got a good amount of ducks from hunting this way and its interesting

    1. Duck hunting is fun. It's a big deal here in Arkansas. I love duck hunting but I'm finding it hard to find time to do it with all I have going. I think any type of outdoor activity is great. Playing in the snow like you get to would be a blast!
