Viper Level Pro SD

Summit Treestands has debuted the Viper Level Pro SD, featuring Mossy Oak Elements Terra Gila. This climber is the first in the Viper line to feature EasyLevel dials. After climbing and getting settled on the tree, sometimes the tree-stand angle is not where it should be for the most comfortable hunting position. The EasyLevel dials make it possible to adjust the tree-stand angle while still attached to the tree.

In addition to the EasyLevel dials, the Viper Level Pro SD comes equipped with the Quick Draw PRO Cable Retention System for faster attachment to the tree. The FasTrack system makes it easy to add accessories to the stand, while Dead Metal SD (sound-deadening) Technology makes for a quiet climb.

The stand is an aluminum, closed-front climber that weighs 26 pounds and can hold a max weight of 300 pounds. The foam-padded seat and backrest are covered and concealed with Mossy Oak Elements Terra Gila camo pattern. This tree stand will fit trees from 8 to 20 inches around. Each includes a full-body fall arrest harness system and the necessary hardware to keep you safe.

Michigan Mayor Looks Down on Guns and Dogs

“If you’ve got a gun, you should be ashamed of yourself,” said Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand. NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
