tree stand hunters

[Bob D]

I started out with the first Summit made. Learned which trees not to climb the hard way like these other guys. I like a pine tree better than anything else now. Dropped twice once about 20 ft and the other about 12 feet.  One tree was a shaggy bark hickory, the other was an oak . Luckily I was climbing both times so I was facing the tree and didn't get hurt. It does scare the heck out of you though. Lots of other close calls.  Get your angle right when you put the stand on the tree, look up and try to figure where your stand will even out at when you reach your hunting point. Always wear a safety belt. You climb enough, and you will see why.

funny cuz I was wondering about pine trees earlier.

I like poplar trees the best. The bark is soft enough for the stand to bite into it and there's very few limbs for a ways up.
