My brother-in-law is really old school (he's 67) and gives me a hard time about hunting from a treestand. He says it wasn't legal when he hunted (in upstate NY) and he doesn't think taht it's sportsman-like to get up in a tree to hunt deer. Doesn't really say why (he's like that). I like him and generally respect his ethics. Has anyone else encountered thisopinion or does anyone on here have this viewpoint? If so, what is the rationale?
