Hunting from Tree Stands:

Deer hunting in bad weather is a miserable sport to start with, but when you try and do it from a tree stand, the elements seem even worse and impact you more. First of all, if rain has fallen and then is followed by a freeze, most of the trees will have an icy slick on them. One of my bad experiences on an ice-covered tree began about 15-to 20-feet up the tree and finally came to a crashing halt at the base of that tree. Tree stand sitters may stand-up to try and lock their feet in the stirrups in freezing rain and then slide off the stands. Many hunters have decided that portable tree stands aren’t the best way to hunt bad-weather deer. However, if you’ve tried using blown-down and low-limbed trees instead of a conventional tree stand, your feet and hands often will be unable to find suitable traction due to the ice build-up and the slippery bark. To prevent my speedy descent at the most-inopportune moments and for various other reasons, I completely have eliminated the possibility of hunting from any-other structure than the ground in bad weather.
