Just one more......treestand

[GreenDrake]

Have 6 of these throughout 2 farms....considering a couple more

[OtiscoPaul]

I've actually streamlined a bit from past seasons:

6 Summit Talon Brackets w/3 Summit Hawk HangOns = 6 sets

2 Ladder Stands

1 Lone Wolf Climber

Those are all for me at 3 primary hunting parcels:

150 acre Public (4 other regulars)

450 acre Public (6 other regulars)

60 acre Private Lease (just me)

Just gave away my 9 yr old Summit Open Shot Climber to my buddy while we were hanging/moving stands today.  

Perfect weather for it this am, 50 and light rain:

Had dinner at my oldest son'd home in Honeoye Falls today . Before dinner he , my youngest son and myself went to Mendon and set up another ladder stand and checked out 3 other stands while there . Got a chance to wear my camo rain gear that I bought at Tractor Supply last year . It doesn't breathe and was wet on the inside . Live and learn !

Twenty plus years of buying stands and maintaining them

replacing cables and straps.... Taking them down every year and putting them back up.. I still have original loggy bayou aluminum stands from 25 plus years ago you use to use Chinese finger ropes to tighten to tree... Best longest lasting stands are by far the aluminum ones.by API and loggy bayou.. Lone wolf are keeping up well but are not as old.. Worst by far steel ladders..

I have 12 stands on 95 acres.  I like to have the same trail covered by 2 different stands. One for the westerly prevailing wind and the other for the south wind we often see during the season.

gonna add one this weekend.  That will give me 10 on 120 acres, 2 on 60 acres, 1 on 9 acres and 1 on 12 acres.  I have a lack of stands for east winds though.  I see that now going into season.

I have found that the deer do not seem to move during east winds. I think maybe because all the trail systems are not set up well for east winds because so rare.

Cleared shooting lanes for the box blinds for rifle season yesterday. Porcupines ate through the floor on one and had to replace it.  Wife saw the porky on the woids later and he took a CCI to the cranium. We killed 13 adult porcupines since May. 9 in one day alone. Last year they ate one box blind right to the studs. Pics are the views from 1 of 4 box blinds. All are on one hedgrow about 300 yards apart.

Took advantage of another wet and cool evening to hang another set.  

Good amount of apples this year in my area.

I have two more hang on's to put up and move one ladder stand. Pretty much have the spots picked out,and i also want to clear one or two more spots for my climber. By the time I am done I will have three hang on's on my 32 acres and maybe 8 spots on a friends 300.

Just got 2 more basic ladder stands for my lease...now a total of 11 stands over 3 main parcels.

7 of my sets are extremely portable so I think that's it for this season.

I went to Geneseo today and put up another stand . I tried putting up a Monster chain-on last week but it was too heavy so I took a ladder stand with me today . Getting kinda old to be doing this . 

[Robhuntandfish]

I went to put up a stand on a new spot of ground i just got permission for (12 acres) and there was a treestand up there already.  The owners ddint know it was out there but found out who it was and they have to take it down this weekend.  So I will be putting up a new stand on Sept 30th the day before season. 

[BowmanMike]

I still have to put up two more hang on's and clear a few spots for my climber. Just can't find the time right now. It will be ready well before November though.

How many treestands do you have up and what size of property?  Seems like I add stands every year and always want one more.  Just want to be sure I'm not addicted!  lol

10 stands - 7 of them shared with one other person on 120 acres, 2 on about 50 acres and 1 on 9 acres (new this year). I love the ladder stands! 

2 stands as of right now on 40 acres but will have more when I see where the deer are traveling, 11 stands on 220 acres 1 that is permanent.

Weather relented and wife can do kid duty so I am heading out tomorrow am to hang 2 ladders and recover my climber from my tompkins lease (wanted this done 2 weeks ago), 1 tree is over a mile in.

With my climber back in hand I may hunt Saturday PM up north if the forecast holds.

11 sets total
