Cool old deer stand

[dgolden]

So I went for a walk today on our new lease looking for sheds and turkey sign. I found this old deer stand in the woods. It's a street sign bolted to an extension ladder. There's a good deer trail about 15 yards away. Makes me wonder if that old redneck killed any deer out of it!

Generally when I find an old deer stand I usually find a good spot. Old timers didn't waste a lot of time putting stands in a bad location.

Some of the ones on our place are still visible that were built back in the 80's and 90's. I have seen a lot of deer in close proximity to those stands. Also, cameras show a lot of activity close to them.

Built many of those. Wasn't fun hauling them through the woods.

Usually those are in good spots. I have seen some crazy stands over the years. Craziest one I saw was a dining room chair about 25 foot in the air. It was nailed through the legs into 2x4's between a split tree. One brave sole sat in that stand.

One year Walmart had boat seats for $5. We made some new stands

I always looked for old tree stands on new property , if whoever spent the time to build a permanent stand there they liked the area for a reason.

I build them all the time on my farms. I love them. So quiet and easy to enter

Built this one on a thursday and killed a deer with a bow out of it in saturday

That's a quick stand build probably. Easy to find materials lol

On some land in Hickman Co. I found one of those old fiberglass chairs with chrome legs from the 60's about 35 feet up in a giant white oak tree (I'm sure 20-25 feet higher than when it was put up). It straddled a limb with no platform. I guess whoever put it up let their legs just hang down. I don't see how they could sit for long without their legs falling asleep.
