Deer stand/Ground blind
2 of my uncles called me last week and wanted to go squirrel hunting this past Saturday on 1-12-08. Instead of hunting I decided to re-locate one of my climbers that I leave out year round while they were hunting. I found a spot that this year has a lot of good buck sign in the area. This is a picture of it, it's just an old cheap stand that if someone decides they want it they won't be getting much
.
I went then to another area I have hunted for about 7 years now and have seen bobcats,cyotes,deer, turkeys, and tons of squirrels over the years. I built a ground blind at this location when I first stated hunting it and it didn't take long til the wildlife in the area didn't pay any attention to it. I think it's got now where they use it for a land mark. Theres a well used bedding area up the hill from it and a shell bank below it that stays littered with deer tracks. It sits on a draw and is a natural funnel for deer traveling from feeding to bedding areas. I have a couple more stands like this located in different areas and they work great and they are FREE

This is the last view a few bucks have had over the years
