Here's Why You Should Try Ditching Your Treestand and Hunting Deer from the Ground This Season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During the peak of the rut, it’s often wise to pick a stand and wait it out. The randomness of deer activity requires patience from a deer hunter, and if you just wait long enough, that big buck will cruise by. Except, of course, if he never does. It’s primarily that sense of the unknown that keeps OL’s hunting editor, Andrew McKean, from spending hours on end in a stand during whitetail season like the rest of us. Instead, he prefers to hunt from the ground and make his own luck. As you’ll hear

What's the Best Height to Hang Your Treestand? We Put It to the Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you want to shoot big bucks, you better draw a 70-pound bow and hang your treestand at least 25 feet up. Or, maybe not. There are a handful of articles and videos out there about selecting the proper treestand height. Most of them mention the 20-foot mark as a sort of standard.

On the flip side, some hunters argue for hanging lower, so that you have a better shot angle at cl

Do Deer Really 'Jump the String?' Here's What All Bowhunters Should Know (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of the hottest arguments in bowhunting these days revolves around heavy, slow arrow setups versus faster, lighter arrow setups. One of the sticking points in this discussion is the whitetail deer’s ability to “jump the string.” Many bowhunters believe that shooting a faster bow means that a deer will have less time to duck which results in better hits and quicker kills. However, a growing group of bowhunters is opting for heavy arrows which are designed for penetration, not speed. Their logi
