Tree Stand Plans

Postby Swede » 04 18, 2018 •  [Post 1]

What are your plans for tree stand use for the 2018 hunting seasons? Will tree stand hunting be your go to way of hunting or will you use it as a break or backup plan? What species are you hunting from a stand?

I am mostly a tree stand hunter and will start there and likely end there for deer and elk again this year. I have been thinking about getting a rifle deer tag and hunt on the ground, but probably will not. I teach adult Bible study at our Church on Sunday. I don't like to be gone too much, and archery season pushes it to the limit.

Will definitely use if I draw Utah. We have several water sources that have a good history and with a super early season we will be using any and all tools in our tool belt.

Unless I want to fish from a tree stand, no plans for me. Did not draw, so I'll be pouting from the sidelines this year.
But that doesn't mean I won't get in plenty of wilderness therapy and stump shooting. :)

I will be sitting in the stand first week of archery season, will be holding a deer, elk and bear tag. Which ever legal animal walks in first will get the arrow.
