How to hunt from a Live Oak?

[ecfire1967]

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

[bphillips]

Ladder stand if straight enough or swivel limb

[ecfire1967]

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

[lab man]

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

[Chew]

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.

^^^^^ That's what I was thinking. Sportsmens guide has their 12 foot tripod on sale for $98 apiece I was thinking about buying two were three of them.

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.
