How To Make A Deer Stand And What To Consider
When it comes to deer hunting stands, Dan Henderson reported "I'm still amazed at the difference it makes to get up off the ground."|

Yet his first rule for stands is simple. Do you feel safe up on it in the tree? Along the same lines always, always, always use a safety harness. |
Then too make sure your stand is properly anchored. Bounce on it gently to check that it doesn't shift or squeak.
Look at how it grips the tree? Does it tear into the bark? If it's your tree you may not care. But if you're a guest the owner might.
If you can only buy one deer stand remember that a climber gives you more options. That's because a climber can double as a fixed position stand too. Yet you can't turn around and use a fixed position as a climber.
Only use a stand you trust and that you're comfortable in. By comfortable I don't mean a comfortable seat. I mean you need to feel relaxed in it. It's typically pretty hard to shoot straight if you don't feel safe enough to let go of the tree.
And it doesn't hurt to practice on a tree in your yard at low heights to get comfortable using the stand. Even if it might provide free entertainment for the neighbors.
