We all live for those fall mornings on stand waiting for that big buck to cross paths with. But before that can happen a lot of things must be done during the summer months or the so called "off" season.
I really enjoy the summer months. There are so many things to do to prepare for the upcoming season. Placing trail cameras out to try and figure out deer movement, hanging stands and cutting shooting lanes. I honestly enjoy hanging stands. Some may think being out in the sweltering heat hanging stands i crazy, but I love it. It is a sign to me that season is just around the corner. In a few weeks all my sets will be hung and lanes will be cut. A close buddy of mine and I will be taking time out of our busy schedules to head to the woods to do a little work. Even with this being so exciting I think a few things must be reminded to all of us fellow hunters and camera men and women.
When hanging stands do not forget safety. We all (or we should) wear safety harnesses while hunting in case of a fall and the same precautions should be put in place when hanging those sets. Make sure you wear some type of safety harness when going up into a tree. There is no reason to let some accident that could be avoided ruin your hunting season. I know when my buddy and I are hanging stands in the next couple weeks we will be taking all the steps necessary to make sure we can enjoy those sets come fall. I urge all of you to do the same. We as a hunting community can not afford to lose one of our own and are families need us.
Happy "off" season and looking forward to sharing mine with you throughout the summer.
