Deer never offset a grocery bill. It just increases theory spent and takes up a heck of a lot of valuable time. Welcome aboard and welcome back home

Quailman is the South Alabama big button head and spike killer. He’s a pretty good shot on the dove field too.

QQ - do you all remove the tenderloins before taking to processor? Buddy of mine told me that most processors will just add them to the ground pile.

I’m not resource heavy, so I have to hunt on public land. From what I’ve been reading (little experience last year), you have to get deep in the woods when the pressure is on. Also, with some public land – you’re not allowed to leave a stand up overnight. So, here is my problem – weight. My hang-on tree stand, climbing sticks, and other crap (straps, harness, etc.) weigh in at 46#. My backpack (food, water, binos, rangfinder, compass, knife, etc.) comes in at 19#. So, this has me humping 65# – 70# of gear. I’m in good shape, and have no problem training my body to get used to weight, but I wanted to make sure I’m not way off here.

If the above is about average for public land hunters – then my next question is on setup tactics. Do you tote it all in day by day or in stages?

One suggestion was to hump the stand out and put in place, then come back the following day for the hunt. There are three issues here: (1) Some public lands won’t allow the stands to remain up beyond a day. (2) I don’t want to go out the next day to discover that someone loved my stand more than I did. (3) Too many trips to the same spot increases the chance of getting busted by a deer.

Another suggestion is to take the stand, protein, and water (leave the backpack in the truck). Hump to your spot then setup/hunt. After you drop Bambi’s daddy - tear down and come back to field dress/drag out.

Like I said, I’m new to this and would appreciate any tips from the seniors on the board.

you need to buy the right gear if you plan on climbing a tree. An aluminum climber like one of these:

http://treewalkertreestands.com/ ( under 18 pounds)

https://www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/x-stand-ultra-lightweight-climber-tree-stand?a=2073639 ( 12 pounds)

or lone wolf stand and steps:

https://www.lonewolfhuntingproducts.com/shop/Products/Hunt-Ready-Treestand-System__HRS.aspx

And youll need a deer cart most likely for recovering one.

https://www.sportsmansguide.com/pro...&utm_source=Bing&utm_campaign=CI

You can do the lightweight climber AND deer cart for under $250. The Lone Wolf route is a little more pricier.

You leave the cart in the truck until you need it, or load your stand/pack/gear on it....roll it to where you leave the trail. Hide it in the woods and carry your gear after you hide it. (id lock it with a cable lock BTW to a tree). then carry your stand, pack gun or bow to your tree.

Outdoorobsession - Thanks for the tips and links. I'm sure this will help all the folks trying to crank back up. My stand weighs 19#, but that lightweight climber your posted at 12# has my back applauding. Also, the dual use of a cart (pack-n-hide to the trail) is excellent - didn't even think of that.

Much appreciated!!!
