5 Types of Deer Stands

[@mdaddyw_1323]

Pretty accurate. Biggest buck I've ever shot was I walked to the end of a logging road, set up a fold up lawn chair, and it came out right in front of me. I couldn't make it out ahead of time with the guys to scout and set up a blind. I was just said screw it I'll just go over here, sit for awhile, and think about where I want to tuck into later in the day. And there's a big deer. Fell 50ft from the road in some grass so I just grabbed the truck and was able back right up to it. I kinda felt like I cheated or something.

[@ronnydobbs584]

My big buck story is identical lol. I walked to the edge of a field. Sat on a little ice fishing chair for a hour and the buck came out 20 yards from me lol. I shot and he dropped. Was within eye site of my truck

[@louiskoch5481]

My grandfather shot a buck literally the exact same way here in northern mi not sure if it was his biggest but a nice wide 8 point on a logging trail and also with a lawn chair 😂

[@pureblood3127]

[@Noobish_Camper55]

The secret to hunting in the scrap wood deer stand is you need to make sure your surplus military rifle still has the bayonet with it to eliminate all of the mice hiding under the carpet.

[@phoneusandfroboof829]

keep a red ryder in the stand like i have next to my bed in the winter

[@inkydoug]

And don't leave an extra jacket hanging in there "just in case". You'll have 5 mice running out of the sleeve and swarming all over!

The stand your family member built back in 86 and has been cobbled back together over the years is the one you want . Don’t need a seat belt when your scared it’s going to give way at any moment. Also easy to keep steady when that big buck shows , my adrenaline has already been dumped when that one step 2/3 the way up the tree just free spun.

[@ryanupchurch9683]

Haha I literally did this out of my bedroom at a ranch. Corned the front yard laid on the bed and opened the window. All the other hunters kept asking why blind I was using that morning and I kept telling them my bed. They thought I was going to sleep in or I was joking. They were shocked when they came back to bunkhouse and I had my deer. I literally shot it from bed.

[@TNTOutdoors4U]

😂😂 I’ve hunted versions of every one of those, plus just climbing a tree and sitting on the biggest limb. My grandpa and his buddies used to get left-over pallets they had and nail them into trees for tree-stands. Spent many hours sitting on a pallet up in a tree when I was a kid. But now I’m old, and whenever possible, prefer the good old tower blind, complete with my Buddy Heater, old office chair, hassock restroom, snacks, etc. Don’t worry, I can still see the deer through my eyelids😂. Great video!👍😁

[@nathaniellarson8]

I think I have just climbed up in random trees about as many times as I've sat in a stand, lol.

[@ConRoen]

The first deer hunt I ever went on when I was 15 I kinda just wandered out into the woods and sat down next to a big oak. no camo just coveralls, hoodie and a rem870 then after about 10 minutes I fell asleep woke up 6 hours later with a nice 8 point 20 yards in front of me. still one of the nicest deer I've ever shot.

[@jesterhead9]

Similar story to mine as well, but I didn't fall asleep. After I sat down on a log the deer walked by maybe 10 minutes later.

[@Dsdcain]

I taught my daughter how to hunt in Central Maine pretty much the Fleet Farm deer stand method (no Fleet Farm here so an "orange safety bucket" from Home Depot) from age ten. I had to laugh when she called me after her first hunting trip in Michigan with her then fiancée and she told me all about the toasty warm deer blinds they had set up. The other funny part was they didn't believe her when she said she had no problem with shooting a .300 Win Mag she's 5 foot 6 and skinny, so she showed them she could. She chose to use a 30-30 on the trip though. I gave her a Model 94 in 30-30 for her 10th birthday so she was very comfortable with it, and very accurate with iron sights. I started teaching her to shoot somewhere around age 5 or there about, and she is a good shot. I miss shooting on weekends with her now that she lives 2,980 miles away. Great video man. Be safe out there, and take it easy. 😎

[@rustyshackleford3487]

I hear a fellow proud dad talking. Kudos to you for raising your girl right.

[@zac.s]

The bucket is versatile. Great for duck season, turkey and deer. Just make yourself a padded lid and you're golden.

[@deusvult6920]

No no. The padded lid is effort. We can't have that. Remember the size of the game is directly inverse to the level of effort. This is called the Huntratic Equation. This is more certain than gravity which is only a theory

[@ruusteriv]

Why not just use whatever that one in the corner of the garage is XD

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

The bucket works IF you follow the instructions to SIT STILL. So for me that means pulling my cap down over my eyes and tilting my head back against the tree. I usually open my mouth to allow for easy breathing so my chest doesn't have to move. In that position, I can sleep soundly without moving, thereby fooling the deer into thinking I am a discarded human that no one wanted and just left behind in the woods when a hunt was finished. They see me as harmless and become curious enough to check me out. Your will likely see your biggest deer this way. Try it for yourself!

Mad respect to the bucket. I have a portable hunting chair that I used a few weeks ago when I shot my biggest buck to date,115.” I simply used the woodline and brush as cover around me. Worked great! 15 yard shot, and watched him drop on the hillside infront of me.

I always wanted to get into deer hunting, and last year was the season! My wife’s grandfather has some land and invited me out. I wanted to be prepared, did hours of research, was ready to spend thousands between the “perfect” hunting rifle and the best blind a man can afford being lower middle class. Her grandfather said wait until after the season to buy anything. He let me use his old bolt action that’s probably older than Father Tome himself and and handed me a lawn chair. Told me what tree to sit under and which way to aim. Got a buck 2 minutes after daybreak. Simple is better sometimes

[@crematedable]

Allegedly, you can separate the top shell from the base of a portojohn and use it as a deer blind/ice fishing shanty. I've never done this but a guy at the bar told me about it and according to him you leave the toilet part so its technically still usable.

[@usa91787]

We had the "This looks like a good tree to put up a stand" while scouting public land. So then we found a couple 4" saplings and cut them up. They satisfied not only the stand but the steps up to the stand. (Sucks when you got there on opener and somebody beat you to the stand you built.) Or, if you're a little apprehensive about cutting a sappling or two there's always the 2x4 stand. There's nothing like standing on 3 2x4's nailed between 3 trees 16 feet in the air without a safety harness. It best when it's windy enough that if you even see a deer to shoot, you have to wait until you drift back on target before shooting because the trees are swaying 2 feet in each direction.

[@reb1050]

At 73 yrs. old, I still prefer to hunting from the ground. I have hunted in various stands, mostly ladder and climbing, but my biggest 2 bucks were both taken from the ground. I sometimes carry a small tripod camping chair, or the Hammock Seat Chair (Portable and Light Weight Stool Camping Chair Hang On Tree), but usually just walk or sit on the ground. With over 50 yrs. of deer hunting behind me, I have killed at least one deer every year from the ground.

[@cm5838]

I spent last Saturday in one of those ultra nice engineered stands, it was very comfortable, blocked the wind, deadened the noise we made. But between the steel stand and the little building on top I bet he was at least 5k into it. I spent Monday sitting on a log until my ass was numb.

[@23ofSeptember]

The truth is...he's right. Its not just in hunting, but fishing too. The more money you spend, the harder it is and you're always gunna see guys coming out of the woods with huge bucks that have spent very little. In fact, most experts don't even bring a gun or a fishing rod.
