Element Ultra

Elevate Stand Company, makers of 100-percent American-made treestands and accessories, has announced the release of its Element Ultra Treestand. At just 6.25 pounds of 6061-T6 aluminum, the Element Ultra will get you right into their bedroom no matter how far that might be from the road. A secure, rigid set can be achieved with ratchet or cam-buckle installation, depending on preference. An adjustable base and seat can be altered to remain flat, allowing the stand to be mounted into almost any tree.

Another advantage is Elevate’s Ascend Climbing Sticks easily attach to the stand, while still leaving room for your backpack and the ability to enjoy a comfortable hike. 

Its color permits the Ultra to disappear into a wide range of foliage and surroundings. This combined with its quiet nature makes the treestand perfect for bowhunters who prefer public land, or any type of stealthy hang and hunt situation. For more information, visit elevatestand.co. MSRP: $419

NRA-ILA also noted that in his response to a police K-9 chasing down a suspect, LaGrand said: “It is time that we ask, ‘What are dogs good for?’ Like, if you need a dog to find someone in the woods, get a hound dog. If you need to chase somebody in a backyard, why couldn’t you do that with a drone? If my dog did what I saw in that video, I’d put my dog down.”

Coyote Tactics: Stay Flexible

The successful hunters I know do not get hung up on one tactic. They constantly float between strategies in an ever-changing hunting environment. Quite simply, they’re flexible. I take that improvising nature to heart even for coyotes, particularly when they shun my calls for whatever reason. When that occurs, I continue the hunt, but modify my strategy to fit the scenario.
