I was just wondering about somthing, are there many pine treesdown there. I have onlybeen as far South as St Joe, MI, so I have no Idea.

I have noticed inpics on this site and inTBMofthe south that there areno pine trees. Were the heck do ya hang a stand ?

Thanks.

Plenty of pines down here..... However, most guys I know rarely use a climber on a pine..... Way too noisy... We aslo have lots of oaks, hackberry, pecan, persimmon, willow, cottonwood, etc....

Yep--what DC said. I prefer to find a nice tall hardwood tree to climb myself. I have hunted from pines--noisy, and that dang sap gets all over everything if you aren't careful.

i think all of the opinions are mostly just the area you were raised in.all the north/northwesterners are thinking"awww,you just have to know how to stay out of the sap," and "you just climb trees all wrong.it isnt loud if you climb it right."vice versa for the southerners.

we have alot of pine trees in florida

In Georgia I own 420 acres of nothing but pines and some cypress, then am sorrounded by 300,000 acres of pines .
If you drive out of florida you will have pines all the way to N.Y.

Well all be darned.

Up north almost everyone hunts from pines, and the guys who dont, look like a turd in a punch bowl once the leaves fall. I like Hemlock trees the best, they dont have all thet much sap and great cover from below.Most of the pines up here, excluding the jack pine,are not climbing stand freindly.

Go east of Dallas, to around Tyler, and all the waydown to around Huntsville, that's the Piney Woods part of Texas. You're hard pressed to see anything but pines.

I live in what they call the Post Oak Savannah, butI grew up in the Mesquite Scrub Hellhole area. [8D]

we rarely hunt in pines here. actually i think i've only hunted in them once!

correct me if im wrong,but it seems likeit wouldeasier towalk-and-stalk(cant think of the real name, but thisiskinda catchy too)hunt in pine woodsthan hard woods,because the dead needles dont crunch as much as the dead leaves.
