Sitka Athlete Jeff Simpson shares his secret on how to stay in the stand when a nasty storm rolls in. Hint: it has something to do with being prepared with a tree-stand specific, waterproof barrier... called the Downpour Series.

I had the opportunity to spend a week hunting elk in Montana with Sitka Athlete Mike Mitten last September. We enjoyed a string of nights around the campire. One of the nights, after a long day of chasing bugling bulls, Mike agreed to answer a few questions on his passion.... bowhunting whitetail deer.
