Tree Stand Buddy® Success This Fall Starts Now With Tree Stand Buddy®
It's been said that success is where opportunity meets preparation, and nowhere is that more apparent than when hunting smart, mature bucks. If you hope to take a trophy this fall, now is the time to get your stands ready, and TREE STAND BUDDY® is the perfect tool to help you get started.
Maintaining your tree stand is a huge safety issue, but many hunters don't realize just how important it is for a successful hunt later in the fall. The TREE STAND BUDDY® system makes spring stand maintenance easy. It saves valuable time that you can spend on that long list of spring honey-do projects ... or fishing, if you're lucky.
TREE STAND BUDDY® is an innovative and universal mounting accessory for lock-on stands that adds safety, security and confidence to your hunt. It consists of a bracket and receiver system that works with virtually any single- or double-post lock-on tree stand. The bracket attaches to the stand, while the receiver attaches to the tree with two TSB® Ultimate Ratchet straps that come with the Starter Kit. In addition to its many other benefits, TSB® allows you to use one lock-on stand with multiple receivers, saving both time and money, all while making stand installations noticeably easier.
So why is it so important to remove your stands in the spring? First and foremost is safety. The less time your stands and ratchet straps spend in the elements, the longer they'll maintain their strength and reliability. In addition, squirrels and other small critters will often chew on them which can go unnoticed and contribute to or cause a tragic fall if not inspected regularly. Additionally, trees grow throughout the spring and summer, putting more pressure on straps and creating a potential failure.
These issues are just as important for stands that use chains as their attachment mechanism. Rust weakens the metal and attachment points, while tree growth puts pressure on chain systems if the stand is not removed in the spring.
In addition to safety, removing stands in the spring provides other benefits for later in the fall. Removing the stand early and starting fresh gives you the opportunity to capitalize on the information you collected from the previous hunting season, which allows you to make any adjustments you feel necessary. These changes will ultimately help you get a little closer to a trail or to a deer approaching from an unexpected area.
Hunters using the TREE STAND BUDDY® system have the ability to remove and carry out their stand after each hunt without difficulty. This allows the hunter to properly inspect his stand and other equipment for safety before each use. For hunters that decide not to take their stand home each time, at least they will only have to deal with maintaining one stand and not have to worry about multiple stands set up throughout the woods. If you hunt on private property, the use of lag bolts will allow you to keep your receivers in place for next season and the ability to remove your ratchet straps so they don't get chewed up by squirrels or dried out by the sun. Otherwise, if you hunt on public land, taking down your receivers at the end of each season will be a much simpler process.
For ultimate safety, when inspecting your TREE STAND BUDDY® and other equipment after hunting season, be careful to check each ratchet strap and look for frayed or stressed material. Make sure to replace old or worn ratchet straps so your receivers will be safe and ready to install this fall.
When all your straps are cleared and ready for use, inspect your stand inch-by-inch and make sure all bolts are tight and secure. Examine weld joints for cracks and use a scent-free lubricant on any moving parts such as foldable seat joints or attachment points for platform support cables.
Whether you return to the same trees to hunt this fall or move to a different location, TREE STAND BUDDY® will save you time with all your setups. And if you pulled and maintained your receivers over the summer, you can be sure that all your setups will be safe, quiet and ready to help you take the biggest buck of your life.
