Tree Stands/ Shooting Lanes
Turkey hunters may use tree stands so long as the tree stand doesn't have skirting behind which the hunter can hide. It is unlawful while hunting or preparing to hunt to (1) damage any tree on public or private property by constructing a tree stand, or using a portable tree stand or device to climb a tree; (2) damage or cut down tree branches, saplings or forest understory to clear shooting lanes; (3) use or occupy a tree stand which, when constructed, damaged a tree. This does not apply to landowners constructing stands on their own property; or persons who have received written permission from the landowner to build or use a tree stand.

I just never could get myself to buy a tag during Deer bow season, i have had many, many, many opportunities at Toms while deer hunting, but as Rob said they can really pick you off quick in a tree. good luck to you and i hope to see some good footage

I have killed many in the spring and fall from tree stands. I hate hunting from a blind so I am either on the ground in a brush pile or in the trees. You have to be able to pull your bow back super slowly. The hardest part is definantly getting a draw on them.

I've never Spring hunted Turkeys from a treestand, but I've taken several with a bow in the fall. A couple times, even after I was caught drawing, I got off good shots at turkeys that didn't know where the danger was. I like it as a fall tactic, huntingfeeding flocks- but don't think Its a decent option for a spring hunt on a mature Tom.
