The Doulble
The Lower
The Skinny
The Corner
The Multi-trunk
Hemlock

It's not over yet in southeast PA. One more week for antlerless!

Paul's Rock
The Funnel

RE: Do you name your stands?
 

Sometimes we actually name the stand - and the name stays with it wherever it goes (ladder stands)

"Blackeye Stand"
"penthouse"
"Terry's Stand"

Sometimes we name the spot -

"Apple Stand"
"the point"
"the 20 footer"
"the sanctuary Stand"

Permanant stands - have the best - longest lastingnames - I think it because when you are building it - you have time to think up a good name.

"the Double Decker"
The Crow's Nest
"The Red Blanket Stand"
"Jessie's Pine"
"Rye Field Stand"
"Bulldozer Engine Stand"
"button Buck Stand"

Still - We have several stands that just cannot get a name the "sticks" - Its always hard to explain which stand you mean when picking one of these - eventually - something "nameworthy" happens - and the stand becomes named.
