Better Hunting with a Tree Stand

In old-growth forests with a high rate of natural regeneration, hunters are often unable to fulfil their required quota due to a lack of visibility at ground level. In such cases a climbing tree stand can be useful. The hunter can then choose the appropriate height and position. Bernhard Funcke, director of the Waldviertel-Voralpen department of the Austrian Federal Forest Office, explains how to use a climbing tree stand correctly and what to look out for. Duration: 13:30. Commissioned by the Austrian Federal Forest Office. Director: Manfred Christ, Editor: Hermann Winklhofer (August 2020)
