Ever wonder how some successful hunters seem to find the perfect location for a treestand or blind and always see or kill deer?

It’s not just luck. Smart hunters know how to study the terrain, wind conditions and deer movements, and then plan accordingly. They’re also careful about scent control, which has a specific role in the location of a stand based on thermals and prevailing wind direction.

Use these tree stand tactics when bowhunting public land or private land this deer hunting season.
