I would like to try a tree stand this year but have never used one. I hunt in south Texas (Edwards County) and all of the trees on my lease are crooked or have major branches. How do you fix a stand in a crooked tree? I was thinking about trying a strap on stand just to see if it's going to work. Any and all advice is welcome.

Crooked trees are dangerous. If you have any good size trees that "Y" you may want to try a crotch stand that fits in between the two big branches. I've seen specialty tree stands that adjust to crooked tree but I personally don't want to chance a good fall.

Climbers on crooked trees is not recommended at all. Play it safe.

I would use a ladder stand . They will work in trees that are crooked.
