Treestands?
« on: August 10, 2013, 04:58:29 PM »
I was thinking about going rifle elk hunting this year and I need to buy something to hunt in. Should I buy a treestand or a blind?

either one will work depends on how you want to set up? over water/wallow or over vegitation or trails, feilds?
 i sat over a bunch of trails last year in a tree stand and shot an elk opening evening with my bow at 12 yards had no clue i was there. good luck :tup:

 I agree with buckfvr; you can see further out of a tree but I also like to have a ground blind I can use to stay out of the weather when need be!

I own a couple of each and other than being able to see better I prefer a blind for every other reason.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.
