Especially bow hunter. Not only mere have to be a good instrument, must have sound knowledge to operate or use.

You can follow any instructions to use tree stand but tree selection is the most important matter. Exemplified, you have great climbing tree stand, you have great expertise to use but which tree limb your stand its dead trees or lean or curve. Then everything will fail.

You should be selected no excessive branches tree. Because extra branches create gambling for hunting and climbing. 20-26 inches diameter trees suitable for climbing tree stand. How do you realize quickly that which tree is the best for you? I suggest you try to compare with your shoulders. If you realize approximately the same width as your shoulders then you set up a stand and climb away. Even smaller trees also not appropriate for the hunter. Because these types of trees blow in the wind. As a result, hunting will be hampered and will be feared in an accident.

Must be followed some instructions

  • Standing part and seating platforms must be connected.
  • Two parts must be level when hunting.
  • Account for tree taper while at ground level.
  • Never attempt to adjust the climbing angle while above ground level.

  • Your all needy gear should be put on the left side out the ground when climbing.
  • Somehow, you feel drowsy on the stand. If you sleep then miss a chance to hunt a deer or another. You will be more conscious to pick up on deer movement and sound.
  • Let your friends and family where you climb tree stand for hunting; carry on a mobile, walkie-talkie or any device for communication.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying.

The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
