Default RE: Tree Stands. Can't shoot the deer on the other side


If the deer is in bow range, directly behind your tree, one offour things HAS to happen if you don't spook him:

1) He walks out on the right
2) He walks out on the left
3) He walks under you
4) He walks directly away

1-3 you have shots, 4, well, he wins

Facts are, you are in a tree, hooked to it, the tree will be in the way sometimes. You should have over 270 degrees of shooting movement, but you'll never get 360 unless you do some gymnastics in the tree.

If it continually happens, move the stand, even just spin it around the tree a bit.

There's always a place the deer can be, be in range, and you not be able to shoot, unless its the middle of a field,

Where's the fun in always winning?
