StrmChzr -

I've stayed out of the post because I tend to avoid controversey - as it seems many others here have as well.

I will say this - You have a high level of dedication, and the work you and you freinds have done is considerable. I'm sure you have a real decent deer herd in SEK, especially if its "family land" - and I'm sure you treat your herd with the respect it deserves - If not - Then you should!

My only negative comment regarding your setup - would be the treestand. I could see if you were limited in your abilities - that a stand like that might make things a little easier - But even though you might be able to harvest a couple deer from that type of set up - I think it likely hinders your chances - they way it sticks out. I would really consider a lower profile ladder stand, or less conspicuous stand in the future.

Thanks for posting the pictures -
