Keep it pretty simple

Lots of names that have half ass meaning where I hunt but there is one pretty special stand........"The Coyote" stand.  It got it's name 10-12 years ago when I had an "epic" (as you young guys call it) morning.  It was the first week of December I believe and my buck tag was already filled.  I was just trying for a doe,  or two if I got really lucky.  I ended up shooting a beauty of a doe around 9am.  She ran from the ridge down to the creek bottom below my stand and expired.  I was hunting out of my Summit climber that morning so I lowered my gun, climbed down and proceeded to gut her then drag her up onto my side of the gully.  I had about 90 minutes before I was to meet my buddies and go for breakfast so I climbed back up the tree and reloaded the gun.  Not 20 minutes later I saw a lone coyote slinking along the ridge, glancing down at the gut pile.  I quickly got her in my scope and made the shot.  She ran down to were the doe died and piled up!  Wow, how cool  was that??

I climbed back down the tree, hiked down to the creek and dragged the 'yote up to lay next to the doe.  I climbed back UP the tree and figured I'd wait out the remaining time up there, why not?  Not ten minutes later another coyote came sneaking along the ridge.........BANG.  I climbed back down, hiked down and up the other side and had to put in a finishing shot on that one.

Two coyote and a doe in 90 minutes with the T/C 50 cal Encore......needless to say before the next fall we had put a ladder stand up against the same tree I shimmied up and down that unreal morning like a crazy red squirrel. 

Lots of bucks and doe have been taken from that ladder stand since that day.  As a matter of fact, I killed a doe from that stand two Saturday's ago........

And that is why you are a STUD @Lawdwaz  Cool story!  Truly an epic day!

[loworange88]

Meh, not really, but it depends on the property...."creek stand", "in the pines", "the new stand", "over back".  Pretty vanilla.

[Zem18]

First guess is he wants to know about Naked Stand, but there is an outside chance he is more interested in the JAn Brady stand.

My Gramps after he retired for a few years worked during hunting season as a line patrol along I think it was Rockefeller property up near Paul Smiths. One side was state the other the private estate. One morning while hiking the line he came upon and old guy on watch sitting on a stump dead as a door nail. I think it ended up just heart failure/old age. Prolly saw a monster buck lol!! From then on we always called it Dead Mans Watch. This would have been jeeze 40 plus years ago.

That's incredible. And the way I think I would like to go.  Did he keep the hawken like Jeremiah Johnson from hatchet jack? 

[Daveboone]

I keep it simple...more just a reference to the location...The Border stand, food plot stand, back ridge,swamp stand, etc. Not much imagination. My buddy used to try to come up with symbolic names..."The Beach", Tombstone stand, etc. but I over rode him due to his infrequent use.

[Otto]

Some nicknames come naturally and are widely accepted, others are thrust upon them and forced to stick. I have a buddy that everyone calls J-lo. He hates it, we all love it. Treestand names can be like that too.
