osage outlaw:
Opening day of archery season starts Monday for me. I thought I would start a thread for everyone to post some pictures from their stand, blind, or hunting grounds. I was able to put 3 more stands out this morning before I had to leave for my daughters CC meet. I have one stand left to repair and put up tomorrow. I still need to wash all of my hunting clothes and get all my gear ready. Here are a few pictures I took while hanging the stands this morning.
This location has produced my best 4 or 5 bucks. It is just inside the woods on the corner of a field. My trail camera is on the cedar tree in the center of the picture.
Same stand looking down the hill
This stand is in the same bunch of trees as my dad's old permanent stand. I haven't hunted this area much in the last few years. This is looking downhill
I mow a trail down the crest of the hill. It runs behind and to the right of the stand.

Looks pretty good Clint.Good luck this year.Season starts monday here too.
I've gotten my stands ready here too.Hopefully I'll take my camera along in the stand.Sometimes I just plain forget to.The recent cool weather has been a good thing here lately.Probably picking up the pre rut timing I hope.Plenty of cover left in the trees here yet.That's good too.I'm gonna try not to piss around and wait for Mr. Big this year.I'm in the meat getting mode primarily.Just like trot line cat fishing for poundage.Ha Ha.
Pat B:
Looks and sounds like an ideal set up, Clint. From seeing all the pics you post of this area I'd have to say it is a good choice for opening morning.

I hung my last stand this evening. It's attached to a gnarly hackberry tree up against a cedar. Plenty of cover behind it. The deer have been coming up the hill from the pond and entering the field at the end of a fence. I should have a 10 yard quartering away shot as they enter the field. They are eating the clover. It's already growing but I planted another 5 lbs of seed a couple weeks ago. It's sprouting up nicely. Next year I'm planting that entire field with clover.
The best thing about this stand is the short walk to and from. It will be nice to have a spot that I can get to if I only have a short time to hunt in the evenings. I'll just have to make sure the wife doesn't take the dogs out right before dark.
