Finding your tree stand in the dark

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. And it can be difficult to hold your rifle or muzzleloader in an aiming position for prolonged periods. Shooting sticks will steady your aim. But you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on either of these tools. Bud has some DIY ideas for you.
