Stand names
« on: October 02, 2012, 09:34:00 PM »
I like to start a thread every year about the names you give your stands. The're often very discriptive or have earned their name. My Bud and I name all our stands. We have a great time with it and it lets us know exactly where the other guy is.

So list your stand names and give a little story about them if you want. I'll start.... These are all ladder stands.

Point plot, damn stand, Bullseye (mark on the tree), Mossy Knoll, Upper Mossy Knoll, Spins stand, Spoon (It's in a bowl, Line stand, Hidden spring, Shed alley, 2 Hole stand, 3 rub, turkey roost, Ridge run, triple tree, N Creek stand, Rub City, Springhole, Towelhead (it;s in the middle eastern part of the property   :)  ) Wooded food plot.

I think that's it
When a man shoots with a bow it is own vigor of body that drives the arrow,  his own mind controls the missile's flight......His trained muscles and toughened thews have done the work

The windmill, high creekbed, three forks creekbed, the arch blind, big cedar, big dead cedar, cottonwood laydown, osage crawler, turkey roost!, soybean ambush. All naturally enhanced ground blinds we've built over the past spring summer and early this 'fall', with the exception of the windmill blind A.C. built a couple of years ago.

Fun thread! Good idea!

We have a damn stand as well, of course near the beaver dam.  The spine, the doghouse, the boulder, the berm road, partridge lane, the metal stand, and Kathy's.  I'm sure I've missed one or two but that's pretty much it.

Headed to camp this friday and I can't wait to visit all my favorite old haunts and find some new ones!  The stands I've listed above are all places pretty close (within 2-3 miles) of camp, we have only just started exploring the state land that borders the property so I'm sure that we will have a few to add to the list every year!
That's why they call it hunting....

First time on new land to hunt.  I named my set, ( predators valley) because I saw no deer but called in a fox to about 5 yards before kissing his nose and sending him on his merry way, and drew back on two yotes but no shot.

Great thread...

Proving grounds, surprise Jake, bear track, escape route, traditions ridge, hackberry springs, skyscraper...

Lots of good emotions just from thinking about those places and names.

We need some stories behind some of these more desriptive names

Cooler, bear track (in MO?) baldface, wagon wheel, bachelor pad, toy truck, the rock (how big is this rock), se the truck. bridal Vale, kettle top and the orphanage.

John,

My brother found this track at our family farm near Springfield, MO 8-9 years ago. The spot has been named bear track ever since.
 

Funny now it may become less of a unique feature because the MDC says their are 400-600 bears now in the state. I think the population has really jumped in the last several years as my brother has a friend who got game camera pictures of a bear this fall in Missouri.
Pretty cool!

CK
