My son and I built a wooden stand in a large oak tree. It was big enough for both of us to bed down for the night very comfortably. It looked kind of like a crow's nest on a ship's mast with a ladder up the tree and a floor hatch to enter the stand. We even had a waterproof roof on it and a 3 ft. wall all around. Just perfect for sitting in a lawn chair and using the wall for a gun rest. Many times during the '90's I spent the night up there. We shot many deer, turkey, coyote, and squirrel from up there. In 1999 lightening struck a nearby tree and the tree fell onto our crow's nest and pretty much destroyed it. Don't know if we'll ever fix it up again. I'm getting too old and my son is off to another town doing the hubby and daddy thing. Some of my very best hunting memories were made up there.
