getting close
 

i was watching getting close tonight

Lee and tiffany were home in Iowa on there farm.

Well it was early before the season and they went to hang some stands.

Lee went into the garage and got some stand and had a stack at least 7 feet high.
it looked like 200 stand all new in the box.

I wonder what they all cost lol ;)

But i was surprised they went out and cut branches hang the stands just the two of them. It shows alot about there love for hunting that that they went and hang 200 stand when they could have had someone do it.


They also found a buck lee passed on that was latershotout of season off there land with a rifle

RE: getting close
 

That was a bummer finding a buck like that that had been poached, especially after pasing on it.

RE: getting close
 

I tell you what, Lee is bigger than I expected him to be. He is just flat out tall. Some guys that I know that went to the ATA show had a picture made with him and tiffany.

RE: getting close
 

I watched that show too and was in awe of the stack of stands in thier shed. They definately do put a lot of work into it. I know if I am going to be hunting out of a stand I want to be the one who puts it up. That way I know it SHOULD be safe when I get there.

RE: getting close
 

i watched the show tonight also

RE: getting close
 

That was a HUGE stack of new stands. I think I heard him say that they hang around 200 stands a year. Sheesh, that sounds like a full time job in itself. Wish I was lucky enough to have the money to afford the property to need 200 stands, or the money to afford 200 of them. If you figure $100/e thats $20k just in stands.

RE: getting close
 

Or they could get get them for free:D

RE: getting close
 

That wouldnt suprise me, I am sure they have some kinda sponsorship worked out. And if you figure, for every 1 spot they hang a stand, they hang 2. That isnt quite as bad.

RE: getting close
 

Really good show enjoy it alot im still looking for my Tiffany maybe someday she will come ,hopefully with a big farm in Iowa to.

RE: getting close
 

I'm sure that stack of stands paid for itself and thensome in sponsorships. The fact that people are talking about it on a web forum pretty much guarantees that the stack was shown so impressively for just that reason.

RE: getting close
 

I'm sure you are 100% correct that those stands were sponsored and the stack was shown to be impressive..................the only thing is no one ever mentioned what brand they were so it really doesn't make any difference if it's brought up here or not, unless someone starts plugging the brand name;)

RE: getting close
 

I was thinking the same thing... They purposely showed the huge stack...they could have just had them taking 2 boxes out. Either way, i got to go to cabelas to buy 50 new stands for some odd reason[&:]

RE: getting close
 

Ameristep Ameristep Ameristep Ameristep PLUG PLUG PLUG PLUG!!! woops...maybe i might have a stack of new stands at my door step if ameristep sees me plugging away with there product:D

RE: getting close
 

one more post i promise...Now that i go back and look at it on the DVR it planely but secretly shows "ameristep non typical outfitter" perfectly for the camera haha oh well they shoot big bucks maybe they are lucky stands;)

RE: getting close
 

what i like about their show is that they hunt their own land most and not with an outfitter!

RE: getting close
 

i agree but i do not see anyone saying what stand they were so it helped the maker none

but i think they were ameristep buy the box colors and logo

RE: getting close
 

i just plugged it
i think it was ameristep all i wont to know know is where is my free stack of stands for plugging it

RE: getting close
 

thats what i just said kinda odd
buy ameristep they make the best product go ameristep

RE: getting close
 

that is one thing i also like about it and the same thing goes for ted

RE: getting close
 

same goes for me..i really like ted though, little over half way done with blood trails 2 and hes a very interesting and lively guy..some one wholesome to look up to

RE: getting close
 

I saw the same show and was wondering if they actually pull them alldown once season is over or if they leave them up.

RE: getting close
 

yep he is a character just wonder what he was like in the old rock and roll days :D

RE: getting close
 

that's funny right there don't care who you are.

RE: getting close
 

Lee Lakosky has been at this for a long time. I'm sure the stands were provided via sponsorship, but those two put in more time and effort for hunting in a season than many do in a decade. The Kiskys are the same way. They have devoted their lives to living a life of hunting. They are fortunate in that they have shows that allow them to gain sponsorship and not have 9 to 5 to work around, but I'd be willing to bet that if they were average joes they'd still be out there hunting harder than most.

I'm not trying to be a kiss arse nor am I a star struck fan, I just respect the effort they put in. There are a few on this forum that put in the same effort and they get the same respect.

RE: getting close
 

:D lee an tiffany probably didn't pay a dime for those stands.... sponsers most likely gave them the stands for promotion purposes... thats my quess!!!
