How about trotting out your favourite tree stand photo?

Here's mine (Nov 2011)



The Mrs. learned the hard way why I've been bugging her to practice shooting left handed.

I hunt only on the ground - here are a few pics of the swamp I am going to go int he next few minutes

This is very tall ladder bout 20 ft up and my favorite of several for overlooking the corn field.Have shots as far I wish to take em most of the time.Great for evening hunts!

That first photo is awesome!!

I took these this past season. Looked off to my side and noticed the shadows being cast. I thought they were kind of cool.

Here is a picture of a small Ohio Buck with a well placed Hocker on his back. The Native Americans counted coop, I count hocker.

Not exactly a tree stand photo but this is a picture taken by a friends trail cam less than a minute before he pulled the trigger and nailed the buck. You can see him in the blind. I think it is kinda neat.

One of my favorite stands from our place in Missouri. I've harvested several good bucks from this stand.

Great view and great buck!


One of my views from a tree stand in SK last month. About as tranquil a setting I've ever had the pleasure of occupying.

Heres a pic of me in my treestand.

Kinda of a funny story,
My friend and I were texting each other back and forth and he sends me a pic of himself...of course all camo'd out in leafy wear, he says "can you spot the hunter?"

I immediately knew what to do, so I stand up lean way far out and snap a pic of my empty stand and return the pic to him with the text "yes, I did but can you spot me?"

I guess he was laughing so hard he started crying.

I don't mean to be an old school grouch, but if one must be texting etc while presumably hunting, he will never be part of my party/camp. Usually we are far enough out that it will not be an issue anyway.

I've noticed some of the famous TV folks lately thumbing their phones and game boys on stand. Seems the camera guy has to stay focused and tell them when game is approaching.

Merry Christmas and the best in the coming year,

You try sitting in a tree ALL day long sometimes without seeing a deer....plus I have to have my phone with me as I run a business and dont know when someone might call needing me.

Same to you.

Sounds like an old school grouch to me.

Sunrise over Appalachia from a ladder stand on an acorn infested ridge.

Where I hunt, a rock like this is what we use instead of a tree stand. This is one of my favorite hunting spots. About two minutes later, I laid down over the rock, grabbed my rifle, and killed a five point bull elk in the yellow quakies in the left portion of the pic.



This is an example of our mobile tree stands.



I grabbed this pic about fifteen minutes and another mile down the trail on the way home.

I resemble that.

Not much to look at, but these two views are from my treestand where I have been hunting Whitetails for the past 45 years.
Upriver,(the other side of the beaver dam) is fairly deep water.
The downriver side of the beaver dam is shallow water.

Deer love to cross water when they are moving.

I have never failed to see deer on this stand during any hunting season. There most deer I have seen at one time was during a bitter snowstorm when a procession of 14 deer walked single file across the river between myself and the beaver dam.

Its a great place to hunt.

The second photo is looking downriver from the stand. As I said, not much to look at, but many many many deer have been taken there.

Each year, at the begining of the season, I haul my trusty LaCrosse green hip boots down to the stand and leave them there for the season!
