arrow32 Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Went to my uncles today and hung my stand. Put it right near two crossing in the creek with reall good signs. To the creek is about 20 yards then there are the trails that go down to the creek that are closer than that. Me in the stand. A pic of one of the trails. Here is dad acting like he is shooting. Me acting like im letting it rip. OK. I didnt have a saftey harness on. After other people pointing that out. To all other youth and adults. ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SAFTEY HARNESS. Dont be stupid.

buckee Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) Great looking spot. I really hope you have your safety harness all set up too. You neglected to show that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 4/8 P&Y Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) How high did you put it? How high do you have to go to get into some branches for cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) About 16ft there. About another 15 to be in some cover. Im going to put a blind of sort around it i think maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 4/8 P&Y Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) That's a good idea. I always try to get up into some branches, but where I hunt I don't usually have to go higher than 15 feet. I feel naked without some branches or something to break up my outline. But I've found that if the deer are walking through thick brush on the ground below me, they don't seem to look up as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) You are sticking out like a sore thumb! Get closer to the canopy or getyourself one of those treestand blinds. Better yet find a multiple trunked tree for better concealment. You need to have a little wiggle room for movement.

Guest Finn Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) Looks good and should be real good with something to break you up a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) While I dont like the lack of cover, it does look like a pretty good spot. Hope your blind idea works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 Re: Hung the stand today(PICS) You'll be fine until the leaves drop. After that you'll be pretty wide open, because those branches behind you look pretty sparse. Maybe you could just attach a bunch of limbs and stuff behind you to break up your silhouette.
