I think I have all of you beat.. from my favorite stand "the pond stand" I can hear the announcements at Pine Grove Maximum Security prison (about 1/2 mile away), I can hear the planes landing and taking off from the Jimmy Stewart Airport (about 1/2 mile away), I can hear the local football games (about 2 miles away), I can hear IUP's band practice (about 3-1/2 miles away), and I can hear everybody in the neighborhoods lawnmowers, dogs, and children playing. I can also see two houses, one about 80 yards away and the other about 95 yards away. Isn't exactly the "peaceful and relaxing" spot that everybody imagines when they think about hunting but I see more deer and the biggest bucks from this stand! The only thing that stinks is when the gaswell attendants come driving by at about 60 yards!
