Title: Late season blacktail archery
Post by: Ice monkey on November 17, 2013, 04:35:19 AM: This will be my first time hunting blacktail with a bow. I've got the stand set up near a very active game trail, my bow is working great, lots of practice on the target... Any other tips to make to this a successful season?

I'd prefer to be minimum 16' up, ground to bottom of platform.

but looks good.
