Well fellas I'm in currently sitting in my favorite treestand in the world. We call it the "rope swing " stand. This stand has about a 90% kill rate everytime I sit in it. Will post pics later of a deer!!!!!!

Good luck!!! We might get snow in the morning and I will paint it a nice RED color if that bull elk steps out.

Well tonight was the other 10% kind of night. I did not see one deer, I guess I jinxed myself.

Hey Red good luck on that elk hunt and that for the luck Willy!! But no joy fellas ,there's plenty of season left.

Here's the pic of that small Doe I smacked in the dome with my 22-250 about 3 weeks ago.

Have you guys ever noticed that when you hunt at a club or with someone that the property always has a deer stand that has wired nickname? Like mine is called the rope swing stand, I hunt another property were we have a deerstand called "the boat seat stand" and yes it has an old fiberglass boat seat on the platform!!!! Let's here someother odd named stands if anybody has any.

My parents have a large open field set back in the middles of the woods in Southestern Virgina. We have a tree stand that's been there since I was a little kid called "The Condo Stand." It is a platform built up in between 2 trees that is basically 16 ft across (2 sheets of plywood)and has sliding windows on it, and a roof. It was setup back when my family had a hunting club called the Tactical Nimrods, mostly guys from the Navy. All the hunters in the club would bring there wives and kids and it had a kerosene heater in it to stay warm. Many a deer have ben killed out of that stand.

We had an old schooldesk back in the day. Was actually pretty nice cause you could always get a steady shot off. We called it "In school", that way if anybody called you could text back, "Im in school right now"...

Looks like a good spot you have there. I think naming your stands is like fisherman naming their drops. Nobody wants to fish "#376" but everyone wants to drop on "Snapper by the Dozens"......dont you???

@ Kracker Jack, they are even further southeast, across the Cheasapeake Bay. They live in a small backwoods town called New Church, VA. It's right on the border of Pocomoke, MD, at the Mason-Dixon line. Been throuch VA Beach many many times. When I drive up from Florida to visit, I pass through on my way to the bay-bridge tunnel. I'm hoping to make it up around Thanksgiving, to do do my own deer hunting this year. Been about 2 years since I last visited up that direction. Also looking forward to some REAL Maryland Blue crabs.
