Post a picture of your deer stand / blind

25ft, on a metal telephone pole, has high tension wires, buried using a pole digger, that thing is going nowhere

 

 

he shoots an 8-10pt every year out of the stand, and he is 71yrs old

[Danny]

Thats 25 feet?? no way lol.  I thought I was climbing up to 20 feet and i am nowhere near that height

25ft, on a metal telephone pole,

 

 

Lightning rod for sure!!  He may become Kentucky Fried Hunter in there one of these days.  

[growalot]

71 and climbing  25ft straight up...that's impressive...but dang one slip on those thin rails.....

[Danny]

yeah you would never guess he is 71, i have even gotten a bit shaky climbing that.

If that were my only option to hunt.....I am buying beef...lol

[Danny]

I was up there with a 35rem and felt underpowered you have easy 350-400 yrd shots from that, the view is incredible he has is set up real nice, overlooks 1 acre of clover

[Danny]

If that were my only option to hunt.....I am buying beef...lol

 

 

he has other options, he has about 10 stands on his property of 98 acres, only 2 are that high   lol

[Culvercreek hunt club]

I wasn't saying he only had that. I meant there is no deer that would get me up there....lol Well that is a lie. There are damn few deer that would get me up there.

I've seen pictures of some doozy stands, but this one has got to be the wildest.  He probably don't even need to use the ladder on the way down.  He just slides down the pole like a fireman or batman down the bat pole.  LOL

I'm not a expert on ladders, but I like my ladders like a regular ladder stand. Not pole steps, screw ins or any other type of ladder.  At least you can grab onto a rung, the sides, whatever, and relax a lot easier than on those pole types. Also, being such a big center pole needed to hold that stand, your hand and feet have to be at least 2 feet apart during the ascent.  Pretty tricky climb, but the views have got to be awesome. God bless em at 71, and he's got to be one of the original Flying Walendas.

[Danny]

trust me the picture makes it look a bit more extreme, do you question your sanity climbing up... yes  but it's not that bad

Here's one I shot my 8 point out of on Halloween. I have it brushed in, it's a hang on not a home built but I have a pic of it..

[Merlot]

impressive tower stand.

[WNYBuckHunter]

We have some doozies that we access with screw in steps. On one of them, its a 20 foot high stand and angle of the tree with steps in it had you leaning back for a few feet about half way up. We replaced the screw ins with a 20 foot ladder stick this year, its better now. Other stands are screw in steps and straight up. I was nervous about that stuff a few years ago, but no big deal now.

[Danny]

yeah the other freaky part is you enter from the bottom of the box

Great views and rifle rests all around.

view from old road at 20 yards

Cluster of oaks that have been enhanced a bit. It provides a 6' wide wall. This one has been very productive.

This is my version of a food plot .... lol. Basically it is simply a remote part of the yard and was established completely with a lawn mower .... lol.

Old oak at the edge of what used to be a field That tree is a bit more than 4' in diameter

View at 20 yards. No, you probably can't really see it, but then, that is the object....lol. It is exactly dead center in the picture. I've never been caught by any deer in this one. It pretty much can't be done as long as I get the wind right.

 

I have yet to take a picture of my one and only tree-stand. It is about 10' off the ground, has an aluminum ladder, has railings all around and a 5' X 5' platform ....... And I still have trouble letting go of the tree to shoot. I'm not real fond of heights.

Can someone point me to a link on how to post pictures? I've got the photobucket account, but am getting an error when posting.

Thanks!

[WNYBuckHunter]

Just copy and past the tag/link from photobucket into your thread

My fire tower stand.First pic is of my girl testing it out shortly after we got it set up last year.Second pic is the view from the stand.

[Steuben Jerry]

 

Roughed in this stand last year and finished it this year. The paint job blends it in somewhat with the tree behind it that is overtaken with wild grape vines. 400 yard look down range. 330 degree view. No deer have been taken from it...yet. That's going to change in a few days.
