Default RE: Homemade Stands

Well, if you hang a stand on the tree to the right... You will cut your shooting zone by over 70% (the trees beside it would block the majority of the field). The box is outset of the treeline and you can shoot every direction.
Anyway, the Eiffel tower was built (by me) for my 9 year old son. He safely killed his first deer out of it. We sat together many joyous hours in it this year. Yes, with our propane heater. The stand overlooks a field with 300+ yard shot opportunity. The box offers rifle support. Which was even very helpful for my sons 50yard shot. The smile on his face was worth every minute spent on the box. And I didn't have to worry about him (or me) falling out. Iwould imaginesquirrels & coons are afraid to climb the stand in the second pic... Surely you posted it as a joke?

Some people drive corvettes, somechevetts. Some even ride motorcycles. But I wouldn’t put my kid on a bicycle in the middle of the interstate.
