New Deer Stand-

[Deadman]

I did about the same thing, but then I put mine up on treated 16 foot 6x6's! :thumbsup: I can look down into the swamp like an Eagle now!

Well, we got the stands completed and took them out back and set them up. I also built two woodstoves out of an old hot water heater tank to keep everybody warm. Both turned out great and looking forward to using them.

DNR frowns on shooting them out the living room window though. had a buddy do that and his neighbor reported him.

I've looked at the regs and it seems that it's fine to shoot from a house -- as long as you have permission and are no nearer than 100yd from any other houses. What am I missing?


on edit - found it. Orange is only required on public lands.

also found

shoot a firearm within 100 yards of a building
devoted to human occupancy while
on lands you do not own (including
public lands and public waters)
without the permission of the owner or occupant
of that building.

So, I still don't get what the neighbor was complaining about or
what the DNR was grumpy about.... unless he was burglarizing
the house at the time...:laughing:

Nice job!! I know I wouldn't mind spending the whole 9 days hunting out of it! Good luck to you folks with deer hunting. You know you will have to post picks of any bucks you kill out of it, right??

Not to big I guess - 150 lb. Once in a while I even get a deer thats bigger than me.

Didn't need any excuse at all to show my deer - sorry.
Last season 210 lb - best deer of my life.

Its funny what the differences are in a deer stand from one area to the next. Here its usually a lock on or climber or a fairly plain shooting house. The heat would be nice though.
