Windows?  have pics of this stand?

 

The color scheme is not exactly what I would have liked (c'mon! No laughing)post-1579-0-11059500-1384354168_thumb.jppost-1579-0-46754700-1384354236_thumb.jppost-1579-0-92635000-1384354273_thumb.jppost-1579-0-39520800-1384354978_thumb.jp, but when your close to another guy's stand, I just like to be seen from afar, and we can pick out my stand with the white on it.  Didn't bother the deer at all last year, and they've been coming through the area anyway.  Just built it last year, and my son built his at the same time, but his is on the ground with dark camo.  The windows flip up and have spinners to secure when closed up.  All of our 25 guys have their own stands and each have their own little touches.  Stands haven't changed much in our area, except I wanted a four by four so I don't have to move around much.  Some guys are bigger and it just seems to be too much movement.  It was my first endevour into building one, and it's working out nice so far.

Wake up call for 0400, leave house (provided son has his poop in a group) 0430, arrive state land 0515 ish, hopefully setteled into an unoccupied spot 0530-0545. This is the only problem with opening week on stsate land. My vacation is the last week of gun season and I'll head into the woods at around 0700, and won't see a soul.

No palpitations with my heart so far.  You guys are the ones that will bring the coronaries upon yourselves with the lack of any exertion.  LOL  Might as well keep a defibrillator in that tree stand too, just in case.

Lol...I do like building stuff..I have three more planned ....just need to get the knee fixed first...Card board and wood like the first one but as big as the shooting house...but the weather proofing will be roofing paint in stead of a tarp like the first one in pic...built in 2010 and still dry as a bone....

      Hi Everyone, 
      It is current the last week for regular season in upstate NY. Living the life working and being a full time student, I have some time off this week and would like to take a ride upstate to do a gun hunt. Never have I hunted public land in the areas 3 G, F, or N and was looking for some recommendations and help! I had used the DEC info locator and found California Hill and thought I might go there. Is there any recommendations on areas to go to in any of the wmu’s? Or on California? Any help would be really appreciated!! 
       
      best of holiday wishes!

      I'm new to the area and looking for some places to hunt  the next few weekends through bow/muzzleloader season. I'm living in New Paltz, and the place that seems the most promising to me so far is Vernooy Kill State forrest, and north into Sundown. Has anyone had any luck in these areas? Is there anywhere better in the area I should check out? Any info is welcome

      Hi Everyone,
      My name is Raul and I am a new hunter! I've been hunting public land for now, but have been suffering. I've done 2 10 hour sits at Kings Park and 3 10 hour sits at Rocky Point and haven't seen one deer. I use a treestand and use scent blocker. I also get there super early in the morning. I need help! I plan to go again this friday. I scouted Rocky point after the first day and always see sign and I try to hunt the areas, but no success. I hunt around 42 and 36 I think. If someone wants the exact spot I can send them it on a map. I am really just looking for help in any areas and everything. I have put so much effort yet all i want is to just see one that will keep moral up. Any help is really appreciated!

      We will be publishing the new list of available hunting leases on Monday, March 2, 2020 at 7:30 AM on our website www.cottonhanlon.com 
      Cotton-Hanlon is a private timber company that owns land in NY and PA (sorry all our land in PA is currently leased). We have been leasing land since the fall of 1970. You will be dealing directly with the us, no third parties.
      Still working on the list but it looks like we'll have woodlots available in the following counties in NY: Broome, Cayuga, Chemung, Chenango, Cortland, Oswego, Schuyler, Tioga and Tompkins.
      Make sure to check it out first thing that morning for the best choices.
      Thanks, Bob

      Wondering if anyone has an extra DMP tag for 4W. 
      Long shot I know and would be happy to get a 1C to exchange. Or trade my turkey tag. Wasn't sure where I would be hunting and never got a deer yet.
