Question: Eddie, we still have some time before bow season begins. Are you getting ready for deer season this early?
Eddie Salter: Absolutely. At the end of each season, I take down all of my tree stands. One of the worst things you can do is leave your tree stands up all year long, especially here in the South. We often forget trees are growing throughout the spring and summer. Here in the South where the growing season is so long, as the trees grow, they put an extreme amount of pressure on the chains, traps and cables that keep tree stands attached to trees. As the trees grow, they break cables and bolts and cause the blades on your tree stand to grow into the tree. So, I pull out my tree stands right after deer season and store them in the shed.

This week, I’ll put new seat covers on all of my tree stands, since that’s where my fanny will rest from 2 to 12 hours at a time. So, I want these seat covers to be strong, fresh and new.
