Camoflauge stands

[Brknarrow1970]

I camoflauge every stand I own - I typically spray pain them this time of year and then leave them outside for several weeks - before using them for hunting

I believe the broken outline helps conceal the stand and also helps hid from others in the case of ladders

who else does this or I am being to anal

You're not anal at all. You can NEVER pay too much attention to detail! I usually put hockey tape on my stands or anything else that I think couldcreate a noise issue.

I paint everything. Stands, climbing sticks, etc. Whatever I can to hide any straight lines.

I plan on painting my climber over the summer. I meant to do it last summer but never got around to it.

Do you guys just do a freehand spray or do you actually make stick and leaf stencils to get a more realistic look?

[il coyote]

I cover the surface 90-95% with a 'base coat'- whatever color you decide; flat gray, brown, etc. I'll usually go with a lighter color.(think Skyline camo)

Then I use other colors(brown, gray, touch of green), and just kind of 'stripe' it. Pull some leaves from the yard to use as stencils to get some diff. shapes.

I don't really look at it as being art, I'm just trying to add some color.

[MO_Bowhnter]

Well it should work well, my API has a base color of a light tan. Looking forward to another project to hold me over til the season starts.

i think its a little anal
but whatever works, keep on doin it

I only paint my stands when they need it and mine needs it now. I'm going to go over it with some of that rubberized paint that I have to deaden the noise as well.
