Outdoors with Bud, June 7, 2025: DIY Drag Lines and Shooting Sticks

What are shooting sticks? How about drag lines? And how do you make your own? This week, Bud explains how these important tools work. You don't want to climb into your tree stand without a haul line.

But you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on either of these tools. Bud has some DIY ideas for you.
