how to judge the target distance from a tree stand?
This question I think 99% of members here can answer it for me. Suppose I am on a treestand, a deer is on the ground in front of me. I aim at it through my scope on my cb. The question is shall I use the distance between the deer and the root of my tree(the horizontal distance), or the distance between the deer and myself to match the aiming point in my scope? (center of cross is 20 yard, first lower point is 30 yard, etc.)

If you hunt from the same spot most of the time; here's what you can do.
Get a tape measure, or a rangefinder if you have one; and measure 10yard, 20yard, 30yard, and 40yard rings around your regular tree.
mark the distances with coloured stakes, or with a shot of coloured spray paint on surrounding trees.
This way; you don't even need a rangefinder while hunting.... you can accurately gauge distances by your placed landmarks.
