deer stand names

Postby carnivore » Thu Dec 16, 2004 8:01 pm

"Cadillac" set up extra nice good place and take a sleeping bag and crash till next first light. "Eagles Nest" probably 30 or 35 fppt up excellent view bad choice when the wind comes into play. "Suicide stand" Huge soft maple at the narror between two fields 20 foot up about 15 feet out on a limb single seat, any one using this stand must be able to pass a urine test, breathalizer and be very coherent, and very good free hand shot.

"Penthouse Suite" metal ladder stand attached to a huge oak tree about 20ft off the ground. natural food plot right dead center at about 25yds. nice farm road(only used during harvest) the deer travel right under the stand, huge field behind me and one to the left, where the deer enter the food plot. all the other stands are made from 2x4s and plywood, very uncomfortable unless you have a big fat cushion.

I like hunting from under the pines the scent is a good mask and they make good wind blocks as well as good blinds. I got my name grizz from when i was up in alaska i crossed the path of a grizzly bear with no gun and i was close enough to touch him and he never bothered me and add the fact that im a big guy everyone started calling me grizz and so it stuck with me.

I'm always respectful to someone who is big enough to go bear hunting with a switch.

My stand of choice is nicknamed "The Green Monster". The stand sits on 4 telephone poles about 25 feet in the air. The interior is about 8x8 feet. It is completly enclosed with hindged windows all the way around that fold in and hook on the ceiling. I keep a mister heater in there for those chilly mornings. Out the back window is a small pond and on all other sides is about 1000 acres of corn field. Some people think it a bit overkill, but it will be 12 degrees on sunday and I will be hunting in a t-shirt.

I use the CONDO. It's a 5' X 8' Platform - 8' up in a tree. It isn't how high you get. It's where you put it. I llike the side of a hill - almost to the top. That way when I stand up - you can see everything on the top of the hill.

I also have the BONDO CONDO - it's a 4' X 4' Wooden platform with walls and a roof. + a fireplace. No windows. Called the Bondo Condo - because the wood came from pallets - from a local autobody shop.

We have several tower stands along a powerline, when you look at it from on the hill you can see about four. There are a lot of deer that run up and down and across the porweline, so we call the line Interstate 20 (runs through our town) and the stands have names like the hylton (very roomy), Econolodge, Holiday Inn, etc.

A few others are Split Oak ( 200 year old oak tree split right in front of the stand), 11 point, wooden bridge and the triangle stand.

Favorite deer stand

Postby Rckmaster » Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:00 pm

Several years ago I built a wooden stand overlooking about six apple trees. Its just off the edge of a power line. Great view for both gun and bow. I named it "Boystown" and built it big enough for my sons who were very young at the time. We've spent a lot of quality time together over the years in that stand (and others). We didn't get too many deer (probably because we were always talking and laughing and eating the fresh juicy apples) but we loved every minute!

me and my dad built a ground blind point 5 years ago . 8x8 pretty good we built it up about 4 feet and it looks down a 300 yard ridge tht joins into another one making a fantastic funnel. tht leads strait from the corn field to there bedding area.. name the GHOST... :shock: because we have this 1 albino deer tht my dad saw 1once when we first hunted out of it... no ones ever saw tht buck again but another hunter took a nice 6 point tht had some albino like characteristics.......
Every time I go into the outdoors on a hunt or just to go fishng its like a new experience...
