TREESTAND STRATEGIES
Several Stands
Wade Bourne is a believer in building and placing multiple stationary treestands for effective whitetail hunting. His reason is to play into the weather and wind direction, giving the hunter options instead of limitations on a trip into the deer woods.
Strapping In
Do you wear a safety harness when climbing up into a treestand? That’s good, according to Wade Bourne, who keeps his harness on, even during the hunt. His video tip explains why wearing a harness all day can even add to your deer hunting success.
Treestand Safety
A treestand is the most effective kind of blind for whitetail deer hunting. Gear comes in a variety of styles and actions, making knowledge of how safety components work a key to safety and success. Here’s a quick tip on the topic from Hunter’s Handbook.
SQUIRRELY STRATEGIES
Deer Hunting for Squirrels
Deer season off to a slow start? Don’t get flustered and go home. Next time, pack your old, trusty .22 rimfire rifle and go squirrel hunting. Doing so might put you on that big buck that has eluded you so far, says Wade Bourne.
Calling All Bushytails
Don’t wear yourself out tromping through the woods for hours on end, searching for squirrels. Your footsteps may be spooking them off. Instead, Wade Bourne suggests using a call to bring the squirrels to you.
Public Squirrels
Public lands are prime areas to squirrel hunt, because most of the hunting pressure leans toward big game animals such as whitetail deer. That’s all the more reason why squirrel hunting on a Wildlife Management Area brings success, as this show proves.
