2013 Deer blind

[Goldslammer]

Just had to post this picture.
This is the stand I used on my cousins property in WV a few years ago, got a small buck early 1st day, so I had time to "redecorate"

Did I mention all my cousins are Steeler fans ?

I sure hope they are Crow hunters...

I think the deer get used to whatever building you put up there...as I had deer on my cam the day I put up the deer stand. I repositioned my camera to see what they did and they didn't seem to care....

I saw the fawns close to the base of the tree on the game camera...so I don't think it disturbed them much...

Unless something is coming after a Deer, or something is moving they don't know, Deer just don't care. I have been setting in my stands and watch Deer walk within feet of my truck parked at the edge of the field.

I have spooked the deer out at my property just because I parked in the only road into my property...so that made them blow out of there...but they usually didn't leave the area just took off for a few hours...lol So now I have to park up the road about half a mile and walk in...or use the ATV and park it off where they cant see it..

Very nice. At least you don't have to climb it like a ladder and figure how to safely get your guns and such up there. Very nice set up.

LMAO that's sort of the same thing that happens here on MDS that occurs way too often when it is so obvious that someone reads the title of a thread, but, doesn't pay attention to what the point / topic of the thread is to begin with. They see "ground blind" and away they go in another direction. I get replies to my threads quite often and shake my head because their replies have nothing to do with the original topic.

HAHA then those people get mad at you because you called them out on it... this one guy was "building" a blind and it showed pallets and looked promising/interesting...then his step by step tutorial ended with a pop-up blind and no pallets to be seen!

I busted laughing at your reply on the other thread when I saw your post. We must be twins man. That was an excellent reply.

I would not call them guys out if they didn't deserve it. I mean seriously. If a topic starts with something like "Looking For Home Made Shooting Rest Plans / Ideas" you know damned full and well some idiot is gonna post up a picture and a link for a Lead Sled and reply with, "This is what I use". It's simply inevitable. ( Here's your sign )

It's almost like they see the topic title and throw their hands up in the air and scream OOH OOH PICK ME PICK ME !

haha ya I was messing around...well an update. I shot a nice doe out of the blind I MADE for my wife she was a little mad I could tell but theres more deer around...I didn't get a pic of the doe. It was a decent shot...I dropped the doe in her tracks with an arrow at about 25yds...First time Ive done that with a bow...she thrashed around a little and I went and brained her with a pocket knife...the doe is now skinned and sitting in the home BUILT cooler. We will grind her up Thursday if its ready.
