Those are the eight two-man box stands I have up now. There are numerous lock-ons that aren't included in that list, many being bow stands in close proximity to the the box stands. Will likely have two more boxes up this spring and that will be about the limit of what I want to prepare and food plot each year. I've never built a really big one, but I'd like build one that will seat 4-6 people so that the whole family can hang out together.

Blood hill
the meat pole

haven't really needed any more than those 2

I carried the upper portion of an all steel 2 man ladder stand up a steep mountain and the other guy carried 5 steel 4ft sections, when we finally made it to the stand site it was named Ol'Dammit.

The Bowl (bowl shapped bottom hardwood area between thick pines)

Long Simmons (long green field named after a guy named Simmons)

Short Simmons (same as above but shorter)

Tank's Field (Tank couldn't hit chit so they planted him a field that was 50yds wide by 50yds deep and put the stand in the middle where he'd have a 25yd shot to the left and right and only 50yds long in front)

Paw Paw's stand and Uncly Jimmy's stand (both pretty self explanatory)

Needless to say it scared the crap out of me,it was a morning without any moon light.

Wolf ridge
The fort
Sleeper Stand
Pecker Stand

I hope that "pecker stand" is named after a woodpecker that frequented the area!

WN

The Kill Shanty
The Skyscraper (about 45' up a huge oak tree)
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".

Lone Pine
Boat Landing
Jiggle Tit
Bluff 1
Bluff 2
Bergum Bottoms

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

ahhhhhhhhh




the ones now known as everyone elses favorite stands


[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.

honey hole

The High Stand
The Low Stand
The Ole Man Stand
The Chunk

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

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....

Way to go guys. Great names for great stands. Maybe we will have some new ones after this season.

One stand I forget to mention earlier was from a ML hunt at Fort McCoy, WI many years ago. It was called "Puttski Hill" and the guy who hunted there ate "puttski" which is dried sauerkraut mixed with flour and rolled out flat like a pancake. Good grief you could smell "used" puttski for 100yds down-wind!

WN

Took a pic of the "Taj" today. Out in the open and around the fourth day of the season when things have calmed down Deer pretty much ignore it, especially early and late. On a day with a slight drizzle it can be good anytime.
