You can add me to the short timer list.
Counting down to about 17 days before spending 8 days in south Texas fishing at Padre Island and Deer, Nilgai antelope, and Pig hunting some distance away.

Deer Stand

Here are some pictures of the 2008 model home made stand and how I  transport my stuff. Add the sling seat and camo paint and it's ready to hunt from. It has a feature that adjusts the seat from  the erect shooting position to the sleeping position which is lower and you can’t fall out. When you get to be an old Senior it is hard to avoid a nap sometime during the day!! And you sure don't take a chance of getting ticks and such on the ground. The brush is only about 8 feet high where I am hunting.  You put this in amongst the brush and the only thing sticking out is Mr. Ugly’s face covered with a mask and the tip of a Muzzy broadhead. Also will use a Breathe Out breath filter. Did you know that your breath is the most offensive thng to an animal?
