When deer hunting most hunters choose to use an elevated tree stand to shoot from. This gives the hunter many advantages as they have more of a vantage point to view the deer from far distances and also are a little better camouflaged from the deer’s point of view. There are many different choices when it comes to choosing a tree stand for hunting. Sometimes it can be challenging to know which type would best suit your needs.
However with a little bit of knowledge you can choose the best tree stand for you. One of the first things you should determine is if you will be moving your stand a lot or if you can use a fixed tree stand. With a fixed stand you have many more options for how to organize your stand such as if you want a ladder tree stand or if you would like to build your own modification to reaching your stand. When buck hunting from a fixed tree stand you can monitor year to year what type of movement and patterns the bucks go through year to year. This can help you understand where your best chances are to bag a huge buck.
If you plan on hunting in many different areas or rotating your tree stand a lot you may want to choose a climbing tree stand. These types of deer hunting stands are most popular among hunters without their own land or the privilege to hunt on private land. Climbing stands are portable and easy to use once you get the hang of them as they can be tricky the first few times. The greatest advantage to these stands are that you can be as high or low in a tree as you want, you can face whatever direction suits your needs best, and it is usually not kept outside for long periods so does not have to take as much of a weather beating. The greatest disadvantages to it is that you have to carry with your gear, it is usually smaller than fixed stands, and it is normally a bit more challenging to get up in the tree with it.
There is also the option of using a tripod stand also called a revolving stand or a rotating stand. This type of stand is more of a platform then a stand and does not involve the use of a tree. It is simply made of three or four legs a ladder and a platform or a seat, and are best used for areas that have very little trees or trees that will not support the type of stand you would prefer to use. Many times when a hunter is using a tripod stand they also use deer hunting blinds which are just camouflaged screens used to help you blend into the environment. Tripod stands are usually hard to move so they will spend the majority of time in the same spot.
When deciding to use a tree stand to help aid your hunt the most important thing to do is make sure you are taking all the security measures you can to ensure your safety. Many times when hunters go out into the woods and perch themselves into a tree they risk falling out of the tree, and at some of the heights of tree stands these falls tend to be fatal. There is a hunter safety system which is a hunters vest that you wear that has a harness to strap you either to your tree or your stand depending on whether your stand is stable or not. This is a great investment to make as it may one day save your life.

Born in Puerto Rico, 3 sisters, 1 brother, Love teaching Martial Arts. i love creating websites and almost all of my times am in the internet if not teaching my martial arts or working my regular job.
this weekend, Oct. 11 and 12, on Kentucky Afield television. Fall break was extra busy this year for John Taylor Shirley, 10, of Bowling Green. It was his first elk hunt. Also in the field was proud dad, Frank Shirley, who now sees his son as part of an elite group of people who are still among the first to hunt elk in this state in 150 years. Family friend David Watkins in Pike County arranged the opening day hunt on private land, which resulted in the harvest of a 6×6 bull elk. Firearms season for antlered elk runs October 4 10.
Wanna go alligator hunting? If you are looking for the most exciting hunt of a life time you have just found it! Just head for the Florida Everglades. If you are an outdoors type person and you enjoy the sport of hunting as I do, you should sign up for one of the alligator hunts that are available.
These hunts will provide you with a full time, very experienced guide that has accumulated many years of familiarity in this type of work. Often times the guides that you get have been active hunters and fishermen in the state of Florida for several decades and have handled many alligator hunts over the years.
Usually the programs are conducted on private land such as cattle ranches, sugar cane and farm operations as well as around the citrus groves. Many of the guides have access to leased wetlands which are the preferred habitat of alligators. In addition you can find several that offer legal hunts conducted on either private or public waters located on federal or state owned land.
If you should elect to participate in one of the public water hunts that are conducted through out the state on a variety of public rivers, lakes or wetlands you will find that these hunts are encouraged by the Florida conservation commission. This commission designates what areas the hunting can be conducted on. Naturally state permits are required and the state provides over four-thousand Alligator permits annually. Keep in mind that these permits are generally issued on a first come – first serve basis.
The hunts are usually conducted around the Southern Florida area near Lake Okeechobee or in the Florida Everglades depending upon the permit obtained. The only time that these public hunts are conducted is during the months of August to November of each year.
In order to add to the excitement of the hunt they are usually conducted in the evening and by airboat. The guide will arrange all the necessary paperwork such as the permits, licenses and tags while all that is required from you is to be there. Hunts are available from mid April through October, and possibly other dates depending on weather conditions; alligators in northern Florida do hibernate in the winter. This is a very unique opportunity.
The typical Florida alligator season runs August through October. This is a very limited season and interferes with deer season for most. Our guide has licensed nuisance tags which allows them hunt alligators at any time, and very likely you will be hunting a “problem” gator which increases the excitement even more. You may very well be saving somebody’s pet, child, or animal by removing these gators. The legal weapons that can be used for these hunts are bows and crossbow, harpoons and a bang stick.
Depending upon the type of weather for the evening of the hunt the client should see several hundred different alligators on their airboat trip. Since most of these hunts are close up you are certain to experience a thrilling adventure that will last you a lifetime.
When you do a Google search for Antelope Hunting, you will find many outfitters to choose from. As you research your possibilities of where to take your next adventure for a trophy antelope, you should consider the following criteria to ensure the best hunting experience. I have outlined six important factors to keep in mind when trying find the right outfitter.
Location
As you research your trip, the first thing you will discover is that Wyoming is the Pronghorn Antelope capital of the world. The open plains of Wyoming offer the perfect habitat to support large herds of pronghorn antelope. As a native of the Laramie Plains, in southeastern Wyoming, I have spent my entire life studying, hunting, guiding, and outfitting here in Wyoming for the pronghorn antelope.
Hunting Area
Wyoming is broken down into many different hunting management areas. When selecting an area there many factors to consider such as: draw success, season dates, quality of animals, number of animals and the amount of hunting pressure.
Many areas throughout the state of Wyoming contain vast amounts of private land. These areas tend to have a higher draw success rate due to limited public access which leads to fewer applicants. The low hunting pressure in these areas allows animals to reach maturity and in turn produce trophy pronghorn antelope year after year. An animal that is harvested without being stressed also yields better tasting meat.
Season dates are very important because you need to choose a timeframe that fits your schedule. Wyoming offers a special archery season for most areas in addition to a rifle season that generally follows. Unlike most other big game species, antelope hunting is not always better during the rut. Some areas are better before the rut, some during and others after the rut is over. An experienced antelope outfitter will be able to give you his/her advice for what’s best depending on what your individual expectations might be.
When trying to decide on the quality and number of animals in a hunt area, ask the different outfitters what their success rates are and ask to see pictures of all the animals they have harvested over the past few years. When you compare one to another it won’t take you long to figure out what looks good and what doesn’t. Use some common sense when making this judgment. If you find an area with a good draw success rate and an outfitter with a high success rate and proof he has the quality to go with it, you will realize that you don’t have to hunt the biggest herd in the state in order to be successful.
As far as hunting pressure goes, this comes down to a few simple questions. One, ask how big is the area that you will be hunting. Second, ask how many hunters will be hunting the same land you will be hunting both before and after your scheduled time. Last, find out if the land you will be hunting has public access. When you know the answers to these questions, you will have a good feel for how hard the area has and will be hunted. A well managed area will have the same quality of hunting the last day of the season as it did the first day if not better. Antelope are not dumb and they will move from hard hunted areas to areas with less pressure and they will remember year to year where they are safe and where they are not. Just remember that the quality of a hunt area CAN NOT be determined by the draw success rate, as there are many other underlying factors which come into play.
The Outfitter
Once you have researched and decided on a location and hunt area, the next step is to choose an outfitter that operates in that area. As a licensed professional outfitter, I am the first to tell you that there are many excellent outfitters throughout Wyoming and all of the other western states. That being said, you are probably wondering, “How do I know which one is the right one for me?” At this stage, you (the hunter), need to make some decisions about what you want your hunt to be like. Do you prefer a fancy lodge? Do you want to stay in a camp? Do you prefer to stay in a motel and have access to the other urban activities in the evening and after your hunt if you get done early? The bottom line is you need to decide where your priorities lay and go from there. All good outfitters will provide you with good food and adequate sleeping quarters but you need to decide if a camp with a wall tent is what you are looking for, or if you want a 5 star lodge, or all the above. After making some personal decisions find out what each outfitter offers and narrow down your list accordingly.
The Guide
Another key factor that a lot of hunters forget to ask about is their guide. Most likely you will spend much more time with your guide than you will with the outfitter. If the outfitter is willing to put you in contact with some of his guides that will be guiding during your hunt, I highly suggest talking with them. Ask the guide how long he has been working for the outfitter. Find out how many seasons he has been guiding in the area where you will be hunting. The more questions you ask the better you will be able to make a decision. As with any other business, honesty, trust and the integrity of the people you are doing business with is worth the utmost consideration. All other factors being equal, what really makes the difference between a good antelope hunt and a great antelope hunt is how well your personality matches up with your outfitter and maybe more importantly your guide. The best hunting in the world is not enjoyable if you don’t get along with your guide!!
Outfitter Qualifications
Last but not least check with the Wyoming State Board of Outfitters to make sure your outfitter is licensed. All licensed Wyoming outfitters are required to obtain the proper permits and authorizations in the areas that they hunt. Most outfitters are willing to help you with the application process to ensure that you apply for the correct area and type of antelope license for the hunt you want to do. A qualified outfitter should be able to provide you with a list of suggested gear, clothing and equipment. Most outfitters are more than willing to help with travel and taxidermy arrangements, as well as motel accommodations if needed.
Price
Most guided antelope hunts range from $1200-$2500 depending on what is included. I do not suggest that a hunter use the price exclusively to evaluate the quality of the outfitter or the hunt but do keep in mind you may get what you pay for. Generally speaking the more luxurious the accommodations, the more expensive the hunt will be. Just make sure when price shopping that you are comparing apples to apples and that you understand what is included and what is not. Don’t forget to ask about license fees, trophy fees, meat processing, meat shipping, hunting stamps, gratuities etc. as all of these expenses will add up. A hunt that may seem like a good deal may not be quite so good when you really start looking into what is actually included.
As a hunter, outfitter and sportsman, I understand that the enjoyment of a hunting trip is much more than just the opportunity of harvesting of an animal. As true sportsmen, we realize that even though we are hiring a professional guide service there are many factors out of human control. Hunting is hunting and there are no guarantees on harvesting an animal, especially when it is fair chase hunting. The experience itself, along with the camaraderie of friends, old and new, will be the memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Deer hunting leases abound in the state of Texas. While other leases are available for species such as quail, waterfowl, turkey, and dove, deer hunting is the number one form of hunting practiced in the state. The hunter has a number of opportunities available to him so he can find exactly what he’s looking for in the great state of Texas.
The hunter has a number of options to consider when searching for his perfect Texas hunting lease. Some of the leases are located on private land, while others are on public. Many of the ones offered on private land allow the hunter any number of customizable packages catering to his Texas deer hunting dream. Some provide lodging, a deer stand, and even equipment. In the case of leases found on public land, often the hunter is only renting the space to be able to put up a deer stand or blind.
Texas hunting leases have become big business and oftentimes they are now offered through a service. The best way to find a lease is with some time and research online. A hunter will be able to find and search for exactly what he’s looking for. TexasLeaseConnection.com allows the hunter to search by price range, area, distance, acreage, amenities, and more. While there are also many landowners offering hunting leases on their private property, such as farmers, these leases will often be with barebone amenities. The landowner provides only the land to hunt, so the hunter must bring all of his equipment and even a portable deer stand or blind to use.
While the entire state of Texas is known for it’s deer hunting, the most common areas to find leases are in the central, south, and east of the state. These regions are especially hospitable to the deer population with foliage and trees. South Texas offers the deer coverage in pine forests, while the central and eastern parts of the state are covered in hardwoods.
The Texas hunting lease oppurtunities are also able to cater to any hunter’s budget. Because so many of the packages are customizable, the hunter can get exactly what he wants at the right price. The Texas deer hunting lease is meant to cater to the hunter; there is no need to lug equipment or worry about setting up a blind this year, everything is done for you, and the hunter need only walk into the woods and get down to hunting.
