Tree Stand Plans / Pictures

Post your treestand pictures and plans (if you have any) here.  Figured it would be nice for those looking for idea's.

I just got some material together to make a ground blind. I am going to lash together some bamboo garden stakes and cover it with some camo material that I got at Wal-mart. Once I get that done, I am planning on brushing it in with some local stuff, cut some windows and I'll leave it for the summer for the deer to get used to. I'll try to remember to post pics when I finish it.

A good suggestion I read on another site was to put a black plastic bag inside the blind, above the top, so that the deer might get used to some movement inside. I don't know if it will work, but it sounds good in theory....

I'd love to see some pics of others tree stands.  Always looking for idea's.  I'd like to see some platform type stands (wood) and also some wood stands attached to trees (the standard).

Anyone have some pictures to post? I am dieing to see some of the custom made stands. 

[burmjohn]

Aye, still waiting to see some... Someone has to have some pics.

[NYBowhunter]

Heres one I have. Will have to take pictures of some of my others when I go up again. I have several double laderstands, homemade and a tripod.

I use a lot fo ground blinds and use a 50 ft piece of 1/4 inch rope abd a package of cloth pins . I just tie the rope around 3 or four trees and then get out my package of burlap camo material and hang it on the rope. I also then use plastic ties for natural branches to brush the blind in. Since this is on my own land I do this in Spet and leave it in place thru both the bow season and gun. I also have several of the plastic lawn chair from walkmart that I leave at the stand location. I find this works a lot better and cheaper than the popup blinds.

Here's a tower stand that I made 3 years ago using the Elevator brackets. It's 16' tall to the platform and the platform is 6'x8'. I put up a pop up blind on top that fills the platform and is 90" tall. I secure it to the stand before hunting season and take it down after. Everything blends in so well, that it's hardly noticible with the blind up either. I thought about enclosing it, but being where it's located, I'm a little concerned about it being so big and top heavy, fearing it might blow over sometime.

I keep a Buddy propane heater inside and also have a propane burner. Sure is nice on the nasty weather days to be able to stay warm and dry! It's great for when the kids go with me too, so they can stretch out and nap, eat, move around, talk, stand to stretch, read, play Gameboys, etc... Helps keep them occupied on those slow days. Since the blind is 90" tall, its nice for me to be able to stand straight up to stretch and move around also.

The tower stand overlooks some foodplots and crossings between 2 thick, jungle-like, bedding areas on each side of the stand. Here are some pics of the view from the stand.

I found a couple pics of the tower stand with the blind up. I have since bought a bigger blind.

Looks pretty nice...  What did you use a regular ladder?

[Cabin Fever]

Yeah, just an extension ladder. I'm not handy enough to build stairs, but I'm going to find someone that is! I would LOVE to have some stairs for that!

[Culvercreek hunt club]

I'ts comfy but the heater doesn't work and it needs a new exhaust system so the deer don't spook

[Culvercreek hunt club]

Seriously though...check out this site...has a pretty cool "lock on model" made of wood. Looks kinda heavy but I don't think anyone would steal this one. I think you would probably need a come-a-long from a higher limb or strap to get this baby up the tree
