Treestand blacktail

[steeleywhopper]

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.

dont get him going again.

The bull i killed in my avatar had 10 inches of arrow riding in between his hide and ribs. Too much of a quartering shot from what it looked like. Broadhead was a Wasp.
 As far as tree stands for blackies, I'm gonna give it a whirl next year. Where I kill my black tails it would work like a charm.

The only way that I have found to be successful hunting out of a treestand for BT's is if you are using bait.

Id say yes on stands.  I tried it last year one morning and saw 3 does come thru.  Its all about where you put it.  I like to be on feet for blackies.

I personall yhaven't hunted them out of tree stands - i don't have the patience.

However, a buddy with a scoped 44 mag pistol wandered out behind the house and saw somebody else's tree stand.   He sat in it for 5 minutes before killing an absolute pig of a 4X4 .     Way better blacktail than I've ever gotten.

Thank -you ...I should of mentioned I did not use bait when I was sitting in my tree stand for weeks waiting for a blacktail to walk by  I personally do not bait deer ...just not my thing but I am not saying you can not ...if it floats your boat go for it ....That Wasp makes such a little hole in an animal but leaves a river of a blood trail ...Just saying

You couldn't resist. You just couldn't resist. 
Of course - I like the Wasp too

  Best thing is to not mention it

I havegotten stabbed in the side of the knee with a wasp by a friendandcan tell you this.........THEY ARE SHARP. We saw a bear so we nocked up,bothtook a step and then my leg felt very warm. by the time i realized i had my pant leg up i had blood in my shoe. Had to ty a sock around it so i would bleed out, well maybe not that serious as to bleed out

tree stands are the way to go i've killed my biggest bt's from them,i think the main reason for me is you can hunt in alot thicker areas where theres no way you could spot and stalk or still hunt i like it when the hunters on here say its to thick in the units i hunt or the deer are nocternal the tree stand gives u the operutinty to hunt in the thick stuff where the deer move all day or earlier they dont just lay down all day and only move at night

[BOWHUNTER45]

you have a good point there    My biggest problem is I always been a stalker kinda hunter ...I can remember my Dad chewing my butt out as a kid when he would put me somewhere and tell me to not move  and when he returned I was gone .. I was 11 yrs old when he told me to sit by this tree and stay here and made a comment to me saying , you need to sit still you will not kill these whitetail sneaking around the woods  WRONG !! After he left me I sat still for about a 1/2 hour then I was in pursuit on a fresh deer trail    I ease down it stopping alot and then I heard a twig snap . My heart is beating out my chest when I see horns heading my way ...I had the Old Bear Whitetail bow ...You know ..those long bows they made in the 80s    He steps out at about 35 yrds and whack I smoked him.. nice 7 pt ..east coast count ... I was so excited I ran back to my dad and tell him I got one ...When we get to where I was sitting he says where was it ...I said not here  he shacks his head ...then we head down the trail ...when we got there we could not find any blood and now my dad is saying I missed !!! I said no way I missed ...He walks around a minute and leaned up against a tree to have a smoke ...He is asking me these questions....Why I moved - what did you shoot at and on and on ...He then looks down at his feet and is standing in blood  ten minutes later ...1st whitetail down !! I still stick to the same method

ya i've killed alot of bucks both ways it seemed like i didn't get my first trophy till i started using a tree stand,  that being said i think it takes more scouting to find the right spot to put your tree stand if you dont want to be bored out of your mind, anyone who's hunted blacktail much has ran into the spot where theres huge rubs with all thick area around it and say thats why they get as big as they do cuz they live in that crap thats where my tree stand goes see right in that six foot tall huck and salal
