Deer season is less than two months away; let’s reflect on how deer hunting was ‘back in the day’ compared to today. My first ‘stand’ was actually not a stand at all but rather a 5-gallon bucket set ...

Personally, I’d rather bowhunt from a lock-on stand 20 feet in the air, or higher, than anywhere else. But for the past several years, I’ve found myself in a ladder stand as often as not.
