Good morning
Ive borrowed my dad’s crossbow with the thought of possibly trying to deer hunt (Illinois) later this archery season. I’m a generally novice deer hunter and especially archery/crossbow hunting.
For those with experience, do you cock your crossbow (no bolt) on the ground and then hoist up? Or how do you go about cocking your crossbow when hunting from a tree stand?
If you do hoist up, there any retractable ropes/lines that you would recommend? I would like something that is not dedicated to staying on that stand.
Finally, any general pointers or advice?
Thank you!
