Thread: Show us your deer stand

Once the deer get used to seeing it they wont care. Especially does, bucks are far more suspicious, their eyes are designed to react to movement.

That is one of the problems of having to remove my stand every night. I can't leave it there for them to get use to. A climber stand would solve some of that but with my fat old butt and we aren't suppose to trim any branches either makes that harder. It is fun to watch the deer cock their heads from side to side because they don't know how far something is.

When the bucks get horny all that caution will go with the wind. I hope that starts pretty soon!

I hope that doesn't start before Saturday!

Not my stand, but a picture of an interesting one taken by a friend.

The ladder was made from an old metal swingset frame. The platform was made from plywood and metal and the seat was a plastic patio chair. Nothing like back woods engineering.
