Add New Straps to Fixed Position Stands

Before the season this year, I went to check a stand, and one of the buckles on the strap I had on my tree stand actually had grown into the tree. Often you can’t loosen the old strap enough to get the strap off the tree and the stand. So, I just add a new tree stand strap to my tree stand. Then, I feel confident about it holding the tree stand. With this technique,

Overrated Wildlife Trees

Planting and managing trees for wildlife food is more of a long term approach compared to food plots and supplemental feeds. With plots and feed you can easily change or adjust at a moments or seasonal notice. Careful and thorough consideration needs to be made prior to loading your property up with trees. Following are three species of tree choices that I either don’t recommend, or recommend limiting to fit a specific niche.

Blair Goins Knew He’d Messed Up

Most novice tree stand hunters fall either when they're climbing up or coming down the tree, however, most experienced tree stand hunters often fall due to malfunctions with their tree stands or not checking their stands just before they hunt. I know several experienced tree stand hunters who’ve fallen because the straps around the tree that have held their fixed position stands have broken. Or, when they’ve gotten into a tree stand someone else has

Secrets on Hunting New York’s Public Lands

I'm often asked, “How difficult is finding a place to hunt in New York State?” In New York, we’re fortunate to have a lot of state land to hunt. If you want to hunt private land, you have to be willing to knock on doors and ask permission. And, I believe that 40 percent of the doors you knock on, the landowner will give you permission to hunt their land. New York has a tradition

I Took a Shot at 273 Yards with My Muzzleloader

I took an 8-point buck at 273 yards using this load in this rifle. I hadn’t planned on hunting that afternoon. I went home, got my gun and was taking a slow, easy walk through the woods when I saw something move out on the far side of the hardwoods. I froze and kept looking and looking, until I could determine that the movement I had spotted was a nice-size shooter buck. I had shot

Improve Hunting Success: Stand Approach is Key

Even if you have the best spot in the world, if you alert the whitetails to your presence while on the way into your site…it won’t matter. Stand approach is an often overlooked aspect of the hunt. You must get to your ambush site without alerting any animals. Obviously wind direction and thermal current has to be considered, but masking your sounds and making sure you’re not seen are equally important. There are many strategies
