Treestand blacktail

[raydog]

Do any of you guys use a treestand for blacktail? If you do have you had any success.

nice . I see a lot of deer when i spot and stalk or still hunt but it is hard to close the deal on them. Glad to heard good things about treestand hunting them. Most of the time people tell me its Dumb Whitetail tactics

tried a ground blind in a area i seen a big forkenhorn and 2 spikes during late archery . sat for hours i never seen 1 deer. i got really bored and i hate it but hunting from tree stands or ground blinds are very productive.

I use a tree stand in sept, and have had deer come within range, but nothing I wanted to shoot. During Modern I don't use it that much now that my son is hunting with me. I have to learn to be more patient with it.

It works, especially with some judicious use of apples.  You don't need to put out a lot.

I shoot almost all of my blacktail bucks from stands. I have shot more out of treestands than groundstands, but it depends on the situation.

would this work in sept. or is more for late season

[lokidog]

The apples are falling in September.  If you have no trees to set up near, just start tossing out three or four apples a couple times a day, if you can,  they will not know there is not a tree there and will continue to come by and check to see if any hew ones have fallen.  They need to be rewarded occasionally.  I try not to put them out just before dark as I like to try to condition them to looking for the apples during daylight.  One idea I had last year,m but did not try, was to hang a bag of apples out of reach so that there would be continuous scent in the area just like an apple tree would leave.

Yes they work, but scounting is VERY important. Trail cams and Boyd iversons Blacktail trophy tactics are a must! I have rifle hunted from them on the edge of an over grown clear cut with 10ft regrowth in them. you can see EVERYTHING!

Tree stands work,  They are also a nice place to get caught up on ones reading.

When I 1st started hunting blacktail back in the 80s I spent hours in tree stands and sitting on trails thinking I could kill them like a whitetail ...WRONG ! Not saying you can not get them from a tree stand but for me its all been spot and stalk hunting and what really has worked for me in the last 10 yrs has been me being aggressive ... I do not like eating tags    When things seem to get tough I like getting in the woods and finding alot of sign and start calling ... I like a grunt tube and the Primos can ...Not saying you will always call a buck in but if you stay persistant and cover alot of ground eventually something will happen ...this year was no different ...hunted hard in late bow season and seen some nice bucks and I take the blame for my son not bagging a good one  One morning I woke up and told myself I will make something happen today and after hitting a few spots I finally found the right one ...I walked up a grade that had some fresh horning on it . I found an old cedar stump and hunkered in ...I start grunting and then took out my old Primos can and rolled it over once and I look to my left and I see a deers butt go behind a cedar not 7 steps from me ... He steps out and WHACK ...END OF STORY ! When it happens it happens quick .... To me it is all what you put into it ! never give up and hunt hard

I personally liketree stands first and last light with sport and stalk inbetween.

The biggest problem with stand hunting (for some) is getting good penetration and blood trails from Wasp broadheads. I've heard they have problems with shots taken at to much of an angle.
