Title: Treestands?
Post by: fieldking#1 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?

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:
