Dave,

Nice shooting with that 58, I'd love to have a flint 58 RB gun.

As for the stands, I use to have a home made 12' ladder stand that would lean against a tree similar to the ones above. I made mine out of some landscape timbers which made it heavy to move but very sturdy. Speaking of being enclosed, my older brother is a good shot but has arthritis pretty bad and can't get around very well. He has a couple of what I call "treehouse" stands overlooking some large open fields where you can see up to half a mile. They are about 12' tall to the floor of a 12' by 12' platform/deck with a 8' by 8' "house" built on it, stairs go up to the deck(no ladders for him). It has insulated walls and sliding windows over a shooting shelf and propane heat to keep him from getting too stiff. He has sandbag shooting rests that can be placed as needed on the shelf for long shots. He has a couple of office type chairs in there to sit on. He did fall asleep once and fell out of his chair, that was a bit embaracing for him. I understand why he feels he needs that level of comfort but it sure takesa lotof the fun out of hunting.
