  1. Do you think this might work ? 68" wide when opened . But it might be 55" from tip to tip . Confusing as I think the 68" might be from the outside tip and over the top to the opposite side .
  2. I opened the carton and inventoried everything . Nothing missing . I had to laugh when I saw the stakes that came with the stand . It does have a skirt that attaches to the shooting rail so I won't need to use the burlap camo . I was able to assemble and install my Quad-Pod elevated stand alone . It was much heavier than this one but not sure if I could get this one upright by myself ....WWGD ( What Would Growalot Do ) .... Need some dry weather and hope the pond field dries up like last year .

  4. Once again , Thanks for the suggestions . I have to open the box and take an inventory as both ends of the box was open . I bet the Fed-Ex driver had a time with it .
  5. The package was by the Garage door when I got home from the airport . HEAVY ! Dragged it in the garage but will have to check it out and make sure everything is in it as it was open a bit on each end . I plan to put some lumber under each leg so they don't sink in .Will also anchor it with fence posts driven in at an angle . It will be tucked into an area where there are a lot of scrub trees but after all the wind we have had , I want to make sure it is anchored well . A roof would be great but any I have seen don't look very good as they work fine if there is no wind when it rains but don't look very functional if it is windy when it rains . Wondering how I might be able to use a Patio Umbrella so it could be taken down when no one is in the Blind . I have a lot of time to figure thins out as it is sooooo wet that I would bury my ATV trying to get to that area now . Thanks for the suggestions !
  6. It says -- 15' to the rail so I am guessing the platform is probably 12' from the ground . I have a few packs of the camo burlap . Wally-World had it on clearance for $5 . I have a spot picked out that it would blend in pretty well . I also have some pieces of pressure treated 2"X8" that i would put under the legs and also get some fence post stakes to drive in the ground to anchor the legs to . Not sure what I will do for a roof or overhead protection . I will have to wait for the area to dry up as I don't want to have to carry this so far . Fed-Ex should be delivering the stand Thursday . I kept checking the Wal-Mart site as they were out of stock for quite a while and thought there might be a price jump when they got more .
  7. Anyone use a Tri-Pod stand . I bought one from Wally World on line for just under $200 . I hope it meets my expectations . This durable, steel tripod stand measures 15 feet to the full-surround shooting rail, letting you observe the surrounding area inconspicuously! The foot platform gives you lots of room for standing shots, and also features a seat cushion with a cushioned backrest for comfort when the hours start adding up. The seat also rotates 360 degrees for full coverage of the shooting field, and features padded armrests and backrest. Also includes a RealTree AP Camo Skirt. Amerstep 15' Tripod: 42" x 42" Octagonal Platform RealTree Xtra Camo padded shooting rail on all sides Ultra-quiet 360-degree swivel seat RealTree Xtra Camo padded arm rests RealTree Xtra Camo accented seat and back cushions Full ladder design 1-year warranty
  8. They take great pics and the deer don't appear to be spooked by the TRACE cams . I like these cams better than my other brand cams ! They operate on 8 AA batteries and have a long life . It also helps if you put in the right date , year , etc . I have some pictures on here with a 2018 year on them . They are not pictures from the future .
  9. Neat video . I was hoping those big boys would duke it out !
  10. Edward Snowden . He is the guy that blew the whistle on the CIA , NSA etc. about their spying . He is considered a traitor by some and a hero by others . The name of the video is "Snowden" https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/16/movies/snowden-review-oliver-stone-joseph-gordon-levitt.html?_r=0
  11. I use the 4" Kwik Spins ..............
  12. And the king laughed because he had to (two)
  13. This isn't how it's done ..........
  14. If you havn't had the chance to see it yet , do so . I got it from our Library . It is very enlightening !
  15. I thought the top picture was a camel with it's mouth open and some bad teeth ! Take a look !
  16. Saw a few posts on Craig's List where people are missing hitches and hitch balls ....... Hmmmmmmm j/k
  17. Sounds like another April Fool joke was pulled off !
  18. I have a bow with a 60#draw and another with a 70# draw . I like the 70 . I'm not a tough guy either as I am 75 years old . I shoot the 60 and 70 pound draw bows only because I still can .
