    How to hunt from a Live Oak?

    Besides Woodys Too (which are great) how else do you hunt from a Live Oak?

    Ladder stand if straight enough or swivel limb

      I tried a swivel limb. It made too much noise.

        I like using a ladder stand or standing a tripod up inside the tree canopy if it is a big tree

          My best setup ever was a 12' tripod up in a live oak. Set it up for the best wind (west side if possible). Deer will get use to the legs. Lots of cover. Trim out the smallest shooting holes possible.

              I have tripods in several. I like to be tall so all of mine ar 12 to 20 feet tall. I don't think you can get up to high.

                I have several of the game tamer type stands that sportsmans guide was selling for under $100. I'm actually sitting in one now hog hunting.

                  A ladder stand leaned against the trunk where there are other limbs branching out works great.

                  If you can find a limb running out that has a "Y" in it then you can use a seat that I have used for years. The seat is built on an all thread coupler. It screws to an a 3/4" all thread rod that sticks into a 3/4" hole you drill into the oak limb. If you drill the hole out onto one of the limbs then you can have a place for your feet all the way around you. Here is a picture.

                    Tripod in the middle with shooting holes cut out. Nothing better then hunting out of a live oak!

                      That seat is cool! Did you build it yourself?

                          Loved my stand that was set up this way.

                              Yes I did. You should see my ladder stands and tri pods.
