Lesson plan

Tree stand

Tree stands or deer stands are open or enclosed platforms used by hunters. They have several advantages: they increase camouflage, lessen the hunter's scent, and prevent the deer from seeing the hunter. The platforms are secured to trees in order to elevate the hunter and give them a better vantage point. A tripod stand is a similar device, but because it is freestanding rather than attached to a tree, it is not technically a tree stand.
