[QUOTE="Rackseeker, post: 5184618, member: 1568"] Where we hunted back in the 80s it took about an hour and half jeep ride back in the mountain. We didn't have climbing stands back then. We always built stands out of lumber usually what ever we could find laying around. Most of our stands were no higher than 18 to 20'. There was one fella that hunted out there that would build them as high as he could get in that tree. There was one stand that was on the edge of a bluff that was aleast 45' tall and being on the edge of a bluff it seemed to be 100'. I got in that stand one morning before daylight, after daylight the temp started dropping and a thick fog rolled in on top of the mountain. The fog started freezing on everything. The old plywood base was a solid sheet of ice and the big nails that was used for steps was froze over. I had to take my boots off so my socks would stick to the steps to climb down. I never hunted out of a built stand after that. [/QUOTE]
