I have really enjoyed looking at this thread.
I thought I would share a few of my favorite outdoor pics.
I took this from a tree stand on part of the Missouri farm that we call the park.
Most of the other wooded parts have lotsa trash (vines, brambles and sticker bushes) to wade through. This place ...is just a walk in the park though. I forgot to tell ya...my Uncle Tony made a sign for this stand...he call's it two bucks. Named for the six and eight point I took out of it.
This is Countrygirl under Tom's sign in!
This is a really tall ladder stand I love to hunt from in the "big woods" at the Missouri farm. I took this pic of Tom the morning we packed the stands out. This is really a rifle stand...but I have killed a few does with a recurve from it. I hand a lock on stand up above the top platform. You can see forever from here!
You can stand or sit and not be seen by what is coming from your right side. It is usually surrounded by scrapes. Behind this stand is about 15 yards of Buck Brush and brambles till you get to a really steep ditch. We cross a huge field (one year it is soy next it is corm) to get to the ditch. The deer come up outta the ditch...they are smart..after a while the look to see if you are there...when you hear them coming up you have to keep saying in your head...Don't look! Don't look!
This is a picture of me in a tree in October 2003. Tom took it on my first deer hunt. I shot two button bucks and a doe from there.
