my stand for 2010/2011

[caleb7mm]

this is where ill be until december when I head to MO.

Its on a MAJOR crossing. I will be able to shoot three different trails and where they all intersect each other. My longest shot will be around 18 yards. If I look to my right I can see an entire field of about 20-30 acres.

I am finally excited about deer seaon this year.

 
 

and a snake we saw..
 

[caleb7mm]

O' and 8 yards to my right there are muscidines!!

[Margly]

Wow, this looks like good spot    
Thanks for sharing, and I wish you good hunting!

Good Luck this season.    

[njloco]

That is a good job, are there still leaves on the trees in December down that way ?

I didn't know there were muscadines in Missouri, maybe south MO I guess. Good luck hunting that spot.

It will be very good until the leaves fall.....then you are going to feel exposed. If you can find a multi trunked tree nearby you will be better off after the leaves drop.

[Mike Vines]

Man if I saw that snake, I would be in the next county, and probably still running.

we do it this way every year. If you cut the branches while green the leaves die and stay on. Then when winter hits and all the other leaves fall you will still have the dead leaves on your tree keeping you hidden. Just last year me and my hunting partner (who practice this trick religously) killed 14 deer with a bow. year after year it does the job.

Caleb7mm is correct about the leaves staying on the branch, the only problem you will have is they are very noisy but if you do it right, it makes for a good blind up in a tree.

[Elkchaser]

Pardon my ignorance, but what are "muscadines"?
Thanks

[HB3]

you do know those snakes are great climbers too!

[Bill Carlsen]

Caleb: That's good. I've had to do it myself a time or two. Good luck.

Elkchaser : Muscadines are a variety of grapes.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

That was a snake??? Looked like bow backing to Me...

[Elkchaser]

Thanks Bill.

Looks like a great stand site Caleb.

Muscadines make the best home-made wine...someday I am gonna share a bottle or two of "my stuff" with some Tgangers...good lookin' hole Caleb. GOOD LUCK!

Elkchaser, muscadines are a variety of wild grape that are also farmed commercially.  Lot's of people in the South have what looks like huge clotheslines full of vines in their backyards.  They grow muscadines for their own use.  There are several varieties.  I have them wild on my property.  The wild vines usually grow straight up a tree and then move over to another tree.  They are used for jelly and wine in the South.  In the South in the early season if you find them dropping you can find some action.  Everything in the woods eats muscadines. Including hunters.
