Odd deer stand

[yellowhammer]

We learned where the good spots were from the deer, staying in the woods watching, learning to read the sign. No bait, no cameras. I still hunt the same way. I do like the climbing stands, though. I don`t know how many times I have moved a climber(Treelounge) just a few feet to get a better view or position after I figured out a predominant travel route. Barrels and wooden platforms were hard to move. You didn`t.

That's too cool. I've found 3 similar on our lease. Two are still in trees. And like 24on48hunting said, they are the best spots on the property

Same at my lease in Carroll. Seems like the folks who used to build stands in trees didn’t just do so in random spots. We’ve scouted and found some very productive spots and wouldn’t you know……we’d eventually find the remnants or at least the spikes left behind from old built stands in close proximity to the very spot where we set a stand up.

yep people use to read sign and plan accordingly

I’ve found a few on public land done the same way. Bottoms are rusted out of em now. Nine times out of ten these old permanent stands were set in really good spots too. View attachment 8133914

I’ve seen those too 😂

I climbed poison Ivy vines up a tree to kill a deer with a slingshot.

Me too and I paid the price 🥴I built a few permanent stands out of wood in days gone by
