RE: Treestand and Rifle question. Please respond
I don't often post on this board, do like to read them though. I hunt from the ground, this is not by choice, I CAN'T climb. Anything over a foot of the ground and I'm holding on for dear life, and it's rather difficult to aim a rifle or bow when you have to have both hands to hold on with. I would if I could. I have gotten real good at stalking over the years because of my phobia and do not regret it. But I do envy those that can climb.... you know maybe I ought to Stalk over to this persons post and let them know how I feel about someone tring to divide a fine group such as yourselves. Maybe the wind blowing out of the south end of this monkey.

RE: Treestand and Rifle question. Please respond
There was a poll done a couple of years back about who hunted from the ground and who hunted from the trees, all most every one stated that they hunted from some sort of raised platform. I've hunted in 30 states (20 to go) 3 Canadian Provs and 4 contries in Europe. I've seen more game animals taken than most people see in a life time and that includes on TV. I read the post and have to say that I doubt that this li'l buger probably doesn't even deer hunt. I was going to post a snafu on him but the Moderator locked it up. so I came back here and did my rant. thanks for listening.

I do as well. In fact every single person I know here in MN that hunts using a rifle hunts from a treestand about 50 or more hunters! I also use a treestand for the slug zone I hunt in. Who is this guy?

I hunt both in a tree and on the ground, killed my buck last year from a tree stand.

Watch Remington Contry. I have not hunted with a rifle yet from a tree stand, but I have hunted lots of bows and pistles form one. I do plan on doing it this year. My older brother has done it for years. You might point out to your friend that most tree stands come with a rifle rest that attaches to it. At least all mine have.

Watch any hunting show and you will see people in trees and elevated blinds with rifles just about every episode. In fact I can't remember the last time I saw Jackie Bushman hunting on the ground. Personaly I get the willies being that high off the ground.
