Do you need a ladder stand..?

If your hunting a largeopen area with good view I would suggest getting a nice ladder stand to raise you up so you can see further and get one that has the fold down front rest so you can steady your gun on it (.270) since it will shoot pretty far with that caliber of gun you can cover a large area.I have about 4 different stands set up on our farm to hunt out of.

#1. I have a 2-man ladder stand for using when I take my Daughters on the Youth hunts.It has the fold down front arm/gun rest and a fold up bench seat if I want to Bow Hunt out of it and have more room.

#2.Hunters View Climbing Stand

#3.Older climbing stand in the bottom field

#4.Hunters View ground Blind set up in the field over looking 2 small soybean fields.

If your hunting on Private Property you can set up a ladder stand and put a chain around it and lock it so no one will steal it.I have used ladder stands for several years and have seen a lot more deer and game because I'm up higher and have a better view.If your in thick cover with little visibilty you would be better off still hunting/stalking or buying you one of those seats that strap to the lower bottom are of a tree to have a comfortable seat to sit and hunt out of.

Recoil:
You could also try shooting the bullets from Remington called "Managed Recoil" they are suppose to have less recoil and shoot close to the same level at 100 yards as regular bullets,you will have to re-sight your gun in with them to see where your groups are.What ever you decide "Good Luck" Hunting,be carefuland have fun!
