SAFETY FIRST! Make sure you are using some kind of safety belt system and go slow. Don't be picky about what you shoot and don't put any pressure on yourself about having to shoot something-it will happen. Enjoy and good luck!

If you pee off the right side of your stand,

lower your bow on the left.

Bring a trout pole if they stocked

If this is your first time out with a treestand, you may be better off going out in the early afternoon so you have plenty of time and light to get setup.

Toilet paper! 

Enjoy yourself and don't be picky. Don’t let social media and tv influence you. If it makes you happy then shoot.

VERY important. Can't tell you how many times I've gotten home from hunting, and had to explain to the wife why I'm free ballin' it.  Under Armor boxers are too expensive to be turning into TP.

I let the ole yambag hang out all the time. Whether the wife wants to see it or not. For better or worse. She knew what she was getting into.

Let someone know where you will be.

If it's a new piece of property you're hunting, make sure you know where YOU are.

Make sure your flashlight/headlamp has good batteries.
