While searching for a big buck’s discarded headgear this spring, you can accomplish other missions in your deer-hunting woods. Shed hunts can also be used for trail-cam updates, treestand maintenance, herd and habitat inventory and even a “bedroom check” of the deer population’s most tight-knit haunts.
Treestands, like other pieces of equipment, need some “winterizing” treatment. Before storing your stands, inspect them for these signs of wear and tear.
