Bowhunting, Part 3 - The New Stand


I picked this beauty up when I was in the cities a couple weeks ago. Ok, it's not too far off the ground, but it is easy to get into, is right next to the house so I can sleep in a little bit longer, and is right on a deer trail.
There has been a persistent rumor going around that I fall out of deer stands. Ain't no way I'm gonna get hurt falling out of this baby!
Actually we spent about an hour yesterday, with two ladders, trying to get this sucker up a tree where I want to hunt. We didn't get it up as high as I would have liked. My helper is only 5' tall. We did the best we could.
My trail cam keeps picking up this doe and her goofy fawn. I have orders not to shoot a doe with a fawn so hopefully something else will wander by. Well, then there are those two dumb turkeys that seem to like to get their picture taken.
I did build another stand 13 1/2' off the ground not too far behind the house. Gotta build at least one more.... so much to do.
