F.O.D. (Field of Death, many, many deer shot in it every year. We stand someone looking over it for about 4 different drives. All of them have the potential to put deer across the field)
Cow Feeder (Round Bale Feeder we move to the middle of a field every year for our two week season and wrap in an old canvas tarp)
The Buckets
The Car Door (Old car door off the edge of a strip mine that no one knows why it's there)

The only reason stands ever go away...they dont produce.

Whelen Nut and I used to hunt with a family friend in the Bates/Amasa area of the Michigan's UP. Normally a pretty darn good shot, he missed a "gimme" on a small knob next to a cedar swap. From then on, he referred to the spot as "miss hill".

The Double-wide - Yep, big enough for two.
The Bread-and-butter stand - If you don't get at least one shot at a legal deer it's because you slept all day.
The Condo - Nice view, and room to kick back and relax.
The Double Decker - Lower level for bowhunting, and another platform up in nosebleed territory for rifle season.
The Oak Tree stand - Yep, it's in a big oak tree.
The Barn Ridge stand - On the ridge just above the barn.

Others based on their location near the Big Field, the Pond Field, the Middle Field, the Lower Field, and the Bowl Field.

Sigh�and our poor neighbor. What can I say. He's an accountant, and all of his stands have numbers. He'll tell ya, "I started out in #1, and then around noon moved to the #4 stand�."

Buck Stand-me, my uncle and brother all killed bucks from this stand the first three days we hunted this area.

Gut in the creek-a crossing on McGee creek where many deer were killed until the state flooded the area for a lake.

Death alley

Toll booth-my new favorite.

Pecan Stand

[bleep] elmer fudd stands now......................

Funny you mention that.

There are A LOT of wood peckers in that area, but on one particular morning, a new guy that was with us for the first(and last) time was placed in that stand. There is typically a fair amout of deer sign there, so we put the new guy in it.

He got annoyed by the woodpeckers there and proceeded to shoot one. He was pretty proud of it and brough it out for us to see at lunch time. His uncle called him a pecker-head and the stand was named "The Pecker Stand".

He was never invited back.

Campground- closest to the family campground -- my favorite
Garbage Pit- Close to a sink hole that the previous owner used to throw away old fridges and stuff. It's actually a beautiful place

Newstand -- A newer place after we stopped using Heartbreak Ridge
Lazy Boy -- #3 Son's place. Doesn't have to climb a ladder to see deer

The "Little Taj" as in Taj Mahal:



Then There is the "Taj", which is the deluxe version of which I will take a pic of in a day or so. They both sit out in an open field and have been there for at least 15 years. They have become part of the landscape as far as the Deer are concerned. They both are death traps and while the number of Deer taken from them is unknown, it is many. The stories those walls could tell....
