Tree Stand Guide

Like to welcome my newest blog roll member. His name is William Allendorf and his screen name on the Deer and Deer Hunting forums is shaman. He maintains the site Genesis 9:2-4 Ministries. William is also a member of the prized stump sitters study group in Kentucky. He is really a down to earth kinda guy I highly suggest you check out his site found at Genesis 9:2-4 Ministries.

The stump sitters study group first formed in the 1970′s. The by product of that first study group was the formation of Deer and Deer Hunting Magazine. The study group was created by two avid whitetail hunters Jack Brauer and Al Hofacker which both resided in the upper Midwest. These two hunters could not have imagined how popular their magazine would become.

The stump sitters study group when first formed involved hunters sending in reports, membership participation, filling out data sheets, research and writing articles for D&DH Magazine. The ideas and report where then pooled with other members to share ideas and experiences to learn more about the whitetail deer. Since then the amount of information we have now on deer behavior is due to the participants of that study group. They also encouraged members to write stories about their hunts, deer camp stories and poll other members with questions. The publication or rather member price was $10.00 $6.00 per year back in 1977. Strike through is a correction. More information at the bottom of the page.

Some of the article titles posted in the first couple publications of the stump sitters study group were “Presenting the World of the Whitetail” by stump sitters, “Scenting Ability of the Whitetail” by Jim Churchill, “Bucks Bear and Bows the Decision” by Maynard Mickelson and many other titles ranging from hunting deer with a camera in the off season to treestand hunting. It is truly a look into the past as you follow along reading. It gives you a good sense of how far we have come in knowing whitetail deer behavior. Each issue of D&DH brings fresh insight to not only helping our hunting strategy but a chance to admire that great stag of the forest, the Odocoileus virginianus otherwise known as the whitetail deer.

So if you get a chance to stop over to Williams Blog I am certain he would enjoy your company and don’t forget to catch us on the D&DH Forum.

Correction: The publication or rather member price was $10.00 $6.00 per year back in 1977. Special thanks to Jack Bauer the founder of Stump Sitter Study Group for correcting me on the price. Thanks Jack it is a honor to know your reading my articles.
