Then some years certain trees won’t produce nuts. I’ve learned that as soon as trees start dropping their acorns, that’s when the deer will show up. I want a tree stand I can hunt from when each individual tree is dropping its

I have always considered myself one of the lucky ones. Even when I was a little kid, I felt lucky that I was born to a family that hunted.

Parrish Elliott Believes You Never Can Know Everything - Even about Small Hunting Properties
