Title: tree stand question for spot by river
Post by: Naches Sportsman on August 23, 2012, 10:12:20 PM: I have been planning on getting this muley that I have been keeping an eye out while fishing this summer. the question is, should I hang it by where he beds or the watering spot or how about where he crosses the highway at? would a ground blind also work for hunting by the river less than 1/4 mile? the trails are pretty well marked and I have him on camera. I just need to clear some shooting lanes and wait till october.

thanks for any tips or advice

I also have the multi season but do not want to spend 182.00 on a 5 point.

If it is still hot in October, then by the water might be a good spot. If you are gun hunting then you shouldn't have to get too close, find a good vantage point where you can watch the trail.
