    I killed hundreds of pigeons growing up with BB guns, 22's and various shotguns on our farm. Never ate any but they are fun target practice

    You could out of the vertical ones. The front would be difficult however because of my long arms lol

    Forgot to post pictures of the stand pretty much complete. I used pieces of old vinyl siding to close it in. I made vertical windows in the corners with camo cloth windows that can be closed. Any thoughts on whether I should camouflage the siding to blend in better? I am planning on painting the whole interior black at some point to hide movement within better.

    Walmart in Leray was the same last night. A few boxes of birdshot left but thats it

    Finally got around to building a tower stand this week overlooking one of my prime spots. It's not completely done but it's getting pretty close. Planning on closing it on a bit more and possibly adding windows so a buddy heater keeps it nice and toasty inside. Used an old tonneau cover as the roof since I didn't have any roofing metal available and lined the floor with carpet. Should make an awesome place to take the kiddos hunting with me. Although I think I might be even more excited about it than my son if that's possible

    I should note I also try to take down all my stands at the end of every season but I still like the heavy duty straps for security. Ive been known to sleep in the tree many times (wearing a harness of course) I definitely would not want to wake up hanging in my harness cause my stand failed.

    Climbing rated carabineers work great. I think HSS sells them as well.

    What do you guys consider an adequate strap to secure your treestand to the tree and trust yourself to stand on 20ft in the air? I've noticed many treestands being sold today have very small straps, I personally have almost always used straps rated for around 10,000 lbs on my treestands. It's overkill I know especially since I wear a harness but most of the straps rated in the 500-1000 lb range I have trouble believing that after sitting in a tree for several months in the weather they will be as strong. What are your thoughts?

    Finally got around to checking some cameras and found at least one decent buck running around. I'm happy to see at least one buck on the farm! Hopefully I get a crack at him when I take my 4yo out with me

    Any tips on taking kids hunting, I'm planning on taking my 4yo son deer hunting with me for the first time this fall. Planning on sitting in ground blinds so he is able to move around and making sure I bring plenty of snacks and things to keep him occupied. Anything else I should bring along? I took him turkey hunting once this spring and he hasn't stopped talking about it so I have a feeling he will enjoy the deer woods as well.
