- Setting up a deer stand by yourself is no easy task. Hiking the gear in alone is a lot but here's how I put up my latter deer stand by myself. I hope you enjoy my adventure at the start of the 2017 deer hunting season.

I am in NB, dont use a ladder stand but just bought one, should be fun to set it up the first time. Merry Christmas over there.
I hope you enjoy it
I do everything solo, nobody around me likes hunting, and YES it is hard to do everything by yourself. I carry a climbing stand on a game cart, but I will get me a ladder stand for next deer season. Public Land in Florida is flat and easy to walk except when it is flooded and muggy, still beautiful even full of alligators and pretty sneaks. Thank you for sharing your video.
Wow that is foriegn to us Canadian hunters, not an alligator to worry about here lol......... just hypothermia LOL. Glad you enjoyed the video thanks for commenting.
well done. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
works great very happy with it
Awesome.
Frank your stand came w
ith two nylon straps about 20 feet long! They are to be use to tie the left one around the back of the tree ! Then down to about 5 steps up from the right bottom ! Then the same thing for the right strap but it goes around the right side of the tree and down to the 5 th rung on the left side of the ladder! That secures the ladder no wobble! Look it up on your computer ! Be safe ! Take it from someone that fell 12 feet because I didn't put them on ! Good hunting !
Ya mine has a bar that connects to the tree that ratchet on first to secure it. That must have been a pretty scary fall. My joints are such no that I probably only have another couple of years in a tree stand. Soon I’ll have to build a doll house lol.
I climb up the tree with spikes, secured a pully.
Great idea.
one 15 ft rope from each side of the top so when its up you can pull them back to another tree to hold the top from moving when you go up to fasten the strap, or keep wrapping them around the tree and stand. be safe
Good advice.
i use a winch on my 4 wheeler a rope on each side up next to the top then tie it on your winch it won;t go anywere
I place a ratchet strap about as far as I can reach from the ground..tighten..then climb up to hook up top strap. That way the stand will not move while I climbing.
My stand has a center beam that goes from the latter to the tree and I ratchet that down. Probably not as good as your idea. Thanks for the input.
I like at 3:37 he tells it to stay 🤣 we all do it!
Hahahaha that’s so true.
haha. facts
😂so glad I wasn't the only one
You should attach the criss-cross stabilizer straps before erecting and then cross them behind the tree and tie off to the ladder before ascending.
This stand doesn’t have cross straps but a bar to support. But this is great advice for that type of stand.
I fell 25" setting one up by myself. Landed on my side then opened up my eyes and a piece of ledge was 3" from my head. Guarentee if my head hit that ledge I wouldn't be writing this now. 🙏 God was with me
WOw talk about lucky. You could have been killed. I'm 58 now with bad knees and hips and moving to more ground blinds these days. A lot less risky.
looks good , accept i think the squirrels are laughing .
Great video, just subscribed.....by any chance did you have any relatives on the Eastern shore of NS ? Beautiful place, spent 22 years down there (1983-2005) fantastic hunting and fishing......especially miss being away from the ocean. GL with the channel.....tc and Cheer's
Yes my dad is from just outside Lunenburg. Lots of Zinck’s over there. lol.
@@FrankZinck I had an aunt that married a Zink (Aldine and Minnie Zink)....they were from Sheet Harbour, bout half way between Dartmouth and Sherbrooke on the eastern shore (#7 hyway). Take Care.....Cheer's
"Lots of deer activity here" *puts 90 pound bag of apples down* 😂😂😂
Was this on public land at the time of this video or private land and if so did u leave it all season?
No this was on someone else’s land. I had permission but I only leave the stand up during the deer season.
I tried pick my stand up and lean it to the tree like he did, he’ll naw. You gotta be pretty strong lol
Yeah, with both rotator cuffs torn and un-repairable I ain’t setting that up alone.
No that's for sure.
My wife helped me one year. I tied a rope on the latter and she stood on the opposite side of the tree and pulled the rope that was around a branch. She was able to take some weight off and stabilize it. Really helped.
That’s how I did it for the longest until I got on CZcams and saw the idea of putting the bottom against the tree and then pushing it up .
Me and my dad just tried to put one up and he tried multiple times by himself and bent the ladder. So when he climbed up it the whole ladder snapped and everything fell back it was a disaster. You got to know what you’re doing
Wow that’s amazing. I hope your dad is okay. It can be dangerous for sure.
That doesn’t look easy!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! You did what I do, tell inanimate objects to “STAY!”.
hahahaha that's me all the time
No criss-cross straps? They should be attached to top of stand before you lean it against the tree. Likewise, I also tie a rope to the top of the stand on one side. After placing against tree, walk the rope around the back of tree and hold it taught as you climb.
This didn't come with criss cross straps. In fact it only came with two straps and I added a third ratchet strap. Good advice though.
😂😂😂 what the
But not everyone uses a stand.
No... but that’s what this video is about.
Not everyone deserves to speak and yet here you are...
What the fuck was the point in your comment? You think he made this video for tools on the ground? Wake up and get off mommy's tit.
I don't remember making this comment and I apologise, may have been drinking, idk.
