Twenty or twenty-five feet up a tree, belted into a stable platform attached to a sturdy maple or oak, with your silhouette broken up by a nearby hemlock, you're well concealed from wary deer that often look up as they walk through the woods. Trophy deer in particular know the score come hunting season-they know that hunters don't just stalk through the woods, or put on drives, they also take to the trees. How to take to the trees in a manner that won't alarm deer, that will put you in position for a killing shot-this is what Treestand Hunting Strategies is all about.
