I appreciate the help with the pics GroundHunter !!
how did you stake down that pop-up blind ?
I have carabiners (oblong metal ring with a spring clip) attaching the bottom loops of the blind to the eye bolts on the posts where the steel cable is rigged. It is a perfect fit.
A membership to SORE is on the way. You may need to make it look a little more rigged up to get the life time membership. Did you use any camo duck tape? That would suffice.
I didn't use any camo tape but if it'll secure the membership then I'll wrap the ladder rungs with it
Not sure if your advise was serious or not davidmil, but I like the idea of the fake ivy on the posts!!! I'll be stopping by walmart this weekend to pick some up in the craft dept. Thanks!
Thanks for all the kind words and for following this mini drama
I set my trail cam on the stand to see how the deer might react to it. I'll be picking it up in a couple of days so I'll take some daytime pics of the stand from several angles as requested.
Unfortunately, due to needing help moving it, I wasn't able to get it out until late evening. We busted out a lot of deer - but I think this stand is in a prime location for the coming rut. I have a complete view of the creek down each side for 1 mile. Last rut the bucks were traveling the creek edge cruising for does. With a good decoy setup and I am confident I'll take one of the big boys.
