Press Release Summary = "I've tried both ground deer blinds and ladder tree stands,"
says Marty Prokop. "I've had great deer hunting success using them both."

Press Release Body = In his deer hunting classes, expert Marty Prokop shares secrets
to successful deer hunting whether you choose a deer blind or tree stand.

While there are a variety of tree stands available, Marty Prokop suggests a
two-person stand for safety reasons even if you plan to deer hunt with only one
person in the stand.

"I prefer the larger platform, shooting and side rails, and overall comfort of the
two-man deer hunting ladder tree stand," Marty Prokop explains. "Personally, I feel
safer using a two-man tree stand, even though I deer hunt with only one person in
the tree stand."

While a ladder tree stand is harder to conceal that a portable tree stand, there are
some ways to do this successfully.

"I find a tree strong enough for my deer hunting tree stand with smaller trees
clustered around it," Marty Prokop says. "I secure the platform to the large tree
positioned so the smaller trees camouflage - or break up the visual pattern of - the
deer hunting tree stand."

If you can't find such a tree, a tree with low hanging branches will also help to
disguise your deer hunting tree stand. You might also try using camouflage material
to drape you deer hunting platform as a way to disguise your tree stand.

Deer hunting blinds can be very effective tools in helping you tag a deer or big
buck, according to Marty Prokop.

"In prior hunting seasons I constructed deer hunting ground blinds from vegetation
and downed trees," Marty Prokop says. "Deer moved in fairly close to the deer blinds
made of natural items found in the deer hunting woods. As a result, many deer were
tagged from these homemade deer blinds."

Another option is a pop-up style deer hunting blind.

"One nice feature about most pop-up deer hunting blinds is being totally sheltered
from the elements. You can sit in rain, snow and windy conditions and still stay
warm and dry. The longer you are able to sit in one place, the more likely you are
to bag a big buck," Marty Prokop explains.

There are several things you should look for when choosing or constructing a deer
hunting blind.

"Look for a deer blind with a dark interior and scent-blocking liner," Marty Prokop
says. "The dark interior helps shadow a deer hunter while sitting in the deer blind.
The scent-blocking liner will help, but not totally prevent, human odor from
contaminating the deer hunting area."

Choose a pop-up deer blind that has large, shoot-thru camouflage mesh windows. This
will let you see deer as they approach and also help conceal your movements inside
the deer blind.

"Whether using a portable deer hunting blind or building a deer blind from natural
materials you find on your deer hunting land, always set up your deer hunting blind
at least two months before deer hunting season begins," Marty Prokop says. "This
allows deer in the area to become accustom to it, and the move about in more normal
patterns providing you a chance at a perfect shot."

Good luck and great hunting!
