“Use what the<br />
pros use when the<br />
camera’s are off.”
Wayne Prejean<br />
South Central Louisiana native, Wayne Prejean began his bow hunting career<br />
over four decades ago. To say he has spent “time in a tree” is an understatement.<br />
With over 300 big game animals taken with archery gear, including Elk, Turkey,<br />
Wild Hogs, Whitetail & Mule deer, Wayne has gained a reputation for consistently<br />
filling his tags. Over the years he has developed the uncanny ability to place his<br />
stands in just the right location. In his words “Picking the right tree is an art form”.<br />
His first 100 hundred whitetail deer were taken shooting bare bow hunting the<br />
public WMA’s of Louisiana. That experience, insight and patience is what has<br />
made him so successful taking trophy class bucks hunting the Midwest.<br />
As Wayne’s knowledge and field experience increased, so did his demands on<br />
his equipment. Utilizing his education in design, he<br />
went to the drawing board, developing complete tree<br />
stand systems with field functionality being the prime<br />
objective. Catering primarily to the bow hunter, these<br />
designs featured light weight portability, speed of<br />
setup, versatility and amazing stability. Add plug-in<br />
attachments for the multi-season hunter and you have<br />
a product with truly unique capabilities. Features such<br />
as The Accessory Port System that allows the hunter to<br />
quickly convert their hanging stand from bow hunting<br />
to gun hunting mode and the Super Cam® Leverage<br />
Lock system that offers more platform stability than<br />
any portable tree stand on the market are truly revolutionary.<br />
The next problem Wayne addressed was gaining access to elevation<br />
quickly. His “Out of the Box” thinking produced the independent portable ladder/<br />
stick concept. No one believed that a miniature ladder/stick could be attached<br />
to a tree trunk by a single strap/rope and securely support a hunter. The award<br />
winning Rapid Rails truly give the hunter speed, stability and versatility for climbing<br />
even irregular shaped trees. The Non-Typical Hanging Stand/Rapid Rails combo<br />
consistently allowed the hunter to position himself in a location that increased<br />
his shooting opportunities.<br />
Taking climbing tree stands to another level, Wayne developed the Multi-<br />
Position Rotating Padded Rail System (used for climbing, shooting rest & safety<br />
rail), Climbing Cinch Straps (eliminates the need for foot straps & stabilizes<br />
the platform and climbing aid at elevation), Quick Detachable Adjustable Height<br />
Padded Seat and Climbing Pivot Arms for the most aggressive bite available<br />
on a climbing tree stand. When you utilize the design process of “Form follows<br />
Function” the final product is truly unique. Not a copy of a copy, thus the name<br />
“<strong>NON</strong>-<strong>TYPICAL</strong>”. Not only did they look different, but most importantly they<br />
performed at a much higher level than the competition. Many have tried to<br />
duplicate these unique products and their features and may look a little Non-<br />
Typical, but none have been successful duplicating the field performance.<br />
Wayne began production of his Non-Typical tree stands in 1990 and partnered<br />
with <strong>Ameristep</strong> in 2004. His most recent<br />
work in the ladder stand category has<br />
produced two award winning designs.<br />
The Team Realtree “Sky Scrapper” and<br />
the portable Non-Typical “Z Lounge”<br />
ladder stands.<br />
To add to Wayne’s impressive resume<br />
he has also been heavily involved<br />
with sharing his knowledge with other<br />
hunters and educating them on the tricks of the trade. From early in his career<br />
as a tournament shooter winning numerous state championships, to promoting<br />
the National Bowhunter Education Program as a Master Instructor, to assisting<br />
in organizing Archery Clubs, to owning and operating an archery pro-shop, to<br />
outdoor product designer and now hunting video producer and seminar speaker.<br />
His passion and knowledge of the sport and the outdoors has made him one of<br />
the most successful bow hunters in the country.
