Stand Names?

"G - SPOT" and it lived up to the name...
I did wack a bruiser, the size of a couch, and with a x-mas tree on his head that year.
My guestimate would have been 220lbs. - 135" buck...
Unfortunately I heard a thud and believe it was his shoulder, had blood for 75 yards, then back out until the next day.
Me and 3 others went in and spent 3 hours gridding out the terrain in all directions, over 400 yards
and then circled 400 yards with never finding what would have been my best deer ever.
I also had drawn on a 140+ doe 3 times in this very stand without a good shot, so I let her go.

We have:
1. East Mix-Master (where two heavy trails intersect;
2. Sunset Ridge (western corner along two trails that come together and mostly used in the evening by deer);
3. Lakeside (in an oak grove next to one of the ponds); and
4. Valley Drive (where the deer come out of the santuary at the back of the big pond & in the valley).
I have a magnetic board I use during deer season that has these 4 stands on it. I stick the magnet next to the one I am leaving to hunt at. My wife is less nervous if I do this (in case I get hurt). Needless to say, if one stand isn't producing, I will switch without changing the babysitting magnet, but she doesn't know that.

Got a few:
Dogwood stand- Near dogwood trees
Old man stand- Stand closest to the cabin (which has produced the 2 biggest bucks in years past)
Double stand- Years ago there used to be 2 tree stands in this location so my dad could take us out when we were young, now there is one but we still call it that.
Undiscovered Territory- Portion of our property that is so hard to get to that no one hunts it (except me)

ORIGINAL: early in
Sometimes I wonder if that's not where you mind went.

I was taking a ****.
I find itflattering you think of me on your off time.

At least you wouldn't need the Plunger!!

Most Bear guides name there stands, but many are in the same spot for years. I very rarely have my stands in the same spot long enough to name it, although I may be in the general area.
