The Advantages Of Stationary Tree Stands On Private Land

If you are a hunter with the advantage of hunting on private land there are some good reasons to use stationary tree stands.

Some of these reasons include:

• Multiple stands can be used to ensure there is a stand in the right spot for any weather conditions
• There is no need to make a bunch of noise climbing to and descending from your position in a tree to take advantage of changing weather conditions
• A path can be cleared to each stand ensuring a quiet entry and exit
• Stands can be set up in precise locations ensuring that your intended target can be seen as it enters your hunting area
• Multiple stands can be set up in different places over the same area to ensure you can see the deer when the sun is at varying positions in the sky

Before setting your stands, be sure to do your homework and take into consideration where the deer will enter and exit your hunting areas as well as where they stage and bed down (you don't want to spook them while getting into or out of your stands).  You should also consider the normal direction of wind flow in each area a stand is set in order to stay on the downwind side of the animals you are hunting.
