Unread postby dreaming bucks » Tue Nov 15, 2011 2:09 am

Anybody gun hunt out of a shack they made or bought ? I will bowhunt out in the elements, but I like to spoil myself for gun hunting with a roof over my head. I don't have pics right now, but I. Will after I go out & check on it tomorrow night.
Anybody have any pics of their setups ?

yes.. he has a atv trail cut about 10 yards off the public boundary that runs about 2 miles north-south..his guard tower is right on the road.. ive walked up to the boundary and snapped a pic...when i get off work ill try to post it..its insane...he can probably see the entire swamp. it literally looks like a guard tower... im not sure what it is made from..its about the size of a barn silo, but its some kind steel..there is a shack sitting on top of this tube thats about 10 x 10....its the craziest thing ive seen...not even sure if you can call it stand.

Sorry to get off topic but wasn't the DNR talking about taxing these luxury deer stands at one time?

Whatever happened to this? I haven't heard anything since last year.

WOW! That thing is outrageous! I just have my old 15 foot ladder stand in the old honey hole, but this year I put my tree lounge up the hill from me about 50 yards because last year the deer kept sneaking by in the brush and I couldn't see what they were until it was too late. This year I will be sitting in the lounge and comfy happily waiting for the parade to begin! It is the only way I can see myself using the treelounge, way to heavy to bowhunt from, but when I can put it out a few weeks in advance and be comfy all day, thats another story, I just hope my pillow is comfy!
