No big deer pics this week, but have been at work on a killer spot. Think this stand will be the runway stand, cause there will be bucks modeling along past it(I hope).
It is in some THICK bottom cover. An old levee runs NNE above the little overgrown bottom, with food 250 yards West and bedding right uphill from it. The stand will face North right on top of the levee.
I took my skidloader and a tree puller and made some easy access for the deer to go from bed to eat. Should be great during rut and late season too. Hunter access will be along above levee in AM and below it PM to stay more out of sight. Think any wind from N will work on it.
A couple pics, first is the runway West to creek, 2nd is the short runway to creek on North(creek makes a 90* NW of stand), and the 3rd is the tree. I pruned the stand tree a bit with the bucket on loader, sorry for being lazy but the deer flies and skeeters were making war on me! :D
150 yds to creek,there is a couple bigger trees in road by creek I couldn't pull. I pulled one 8" tree but it was really too much. This is looking hard left from stand. Also a short 50 yard runway to S left of this pic.
In this one you can faintly see the ag field to N,and enough on the lease to try and grunt one in if he passes thru. This is looking almost straight ahead from stand, just slightly left. The levee is out of pic to right about 10 yards and another good shooting lane before levee top if he gets thru this one!See the cedar tree left for cover to get yer bow up?
The tree is a pinoak, and being on top of levee, I may only put up a 10-12' tall ladder stand,there is great background cover and will add a bit more if needed. Think a 15' tall stand might make a tough angle with the deer being down off the levee.
