Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Built Another Deer Stand

We will carry the stand in the marsh with an airboat and can stand them up by hand. We use 3/16 cables for guy cables in all four corners. The picture has tie down straps, but we swapped them out.

After it is upright we pull frames, wall panels, etc up individually. Most pieces are precut and are bolted or screwed together. Cordless tools have made that process easier. Some people use chainsaw winches to stand the up.

We have some that were knocked over during the last hurricane. Those are a little harder to stand up with the box on them.

The amazing thing is I do not really enjoy deer hunting. I am a duck hunter, but that hunting has been terrible for several years. We have been leasing the same property for 46 years.
