RE: Favorite types of trees for treestands?
Beach trees are really easy to put stands in. They have lots of branches, low and high, so most of them require very little lumber, and they hold their leaves for a while after they turn brown, so they provide good cover as well. But you’ll have to do some pretty heavy pruning to get some shooting lanes. I made two new stands in them this year and used the clippings to assist in a funnel that cut off one of the evening paths. It ended up working really well.
Good luck and be safe,
