Anyone do backcountry hunts w/ a hammock?

Post up those pics! How many days do you spend hammock hunting? Any problems that would be resolved by going to ground with a tent? Any advantages? Apologies to any tree huggers who might find this topic off-putting.

A week in my Clark in unending Utah snowstorm.

Folks,

Please keep this thread focus on your hammock and not your hunting. This is Hammock Forums, not hunting forums.

Thank you!

I don't understand why it cannot be both as a hammock is a shelter used in plenty of outdoor activities, including hunting. I am wondering how common they are used for this activity. But I removed the other pics per your request. I wonder if the same request would occur if someone posted fishing trip pics posing with trophy trout.

Never tried it but like the idea...

Snrmoment has used his hammock chair to hunt from.

In the backcountry I'm always hunting for the perfect spot to set-up camp.

I've thought about this also and wondered about fabric noise and pack smells that could affect the hunt. A gear hammock would be a necessity I would think for weapons and or other items. My biggest issue would be the pack out if successful, but I suppose a hammock could be improvised into a drag system .

Defintely easier to find a spot to hang than pitch a tent sometimes. But have you used a hammock while hunting?

Can't fathom somebody sitting and taking a steady shot especially at long distance. Lol. Am i going to take a chance at missing a possible record? Nope!

If you got trees you got hammock spots. I don't see why using it on an extended hunting trip would not work.
