2008 Overview

Though our prices haven't changed since 2003, unfortunately the price of aluminum has shot up, natural gas prices have caused powder coating costs to soar, and gasoline prices have increased shipping costs substancially as well. The past couple of years Deer Hunter Stands has been able to absorb this cost but this year we will have a small price increase in 2008 but we are still working on the amount which should be somewhere between 3% and 7%.

On a good note, I spent lots of time whitetail hunting in South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee this year. Hunting in the Carolinas was a bust, probably worsened by the severe drought, increased pressure, and loss of habitat - I heard and saw plenty of deer after dark but they just didn't seem to move during the day at all. Tennessee deer hunting was a different story, check out the mountain hunting cabin that offered delux accomodations with acreage where you can hunt for free. I got one with a crossbow, and another with a pickup... fortunately not much truck damage although I can't say the same for the button buck!
