who here has used one of those tree umbrellas that go over your stand ? If so what did you like/ dislike and witch brand
was it. let me know your thoughts about using one

I forgot the brand I bought---two thumbs up....they are cheap but they save your life when the rain comes pouring down in buckets...get one! They also keep the sun out of your face if you choose to use one on a sunny day.

Great product. Make sure you set it up high enough that you can draw your bow while standing underneath it.

I have also been thinking about getting one, Last year I got sooking wet more than once during early bow season

My only concern with them is, don't they make noise when it rains??

GMMAT · 08-02-2008, 08:28 PM

They don't make any more noise than the rain does hitting on the other limbs, trees, etc.... . I have no idea which brand mine is....but if I didn't have it....I wouldn't have hunted a few times, last year.

I didn't shoot anything while I was using it.....but I know I dropped it out of my stand (prior to setting it up) the morning I shot my 8-pointer, last year. Thank God it didn't rain.

Rob/PA picked mine up for me. If he sees this....he can tell you which one it is.....but it's got a big coverage area.....and it's easy to set up.

Yhey don't make anymore noise than the rain it's self.....they are nice when it rains pretty hard......

I really like mine, I have 2 of them, not sure what name brand

I used a Buckwing Porta Roof this past turkey season. Sat through 4 hours of pouring rain on the last day of the season. Rain stopped and I killed a gobbler 30 minutes later.Being under that umbrella wasa beautiful thing.

I bought a cheapy at wal-mart for like $20.00 and it's well worth it. Especially for those cold November rains.
