The last three great deer stands were both late and great. The Taj, the Armpit and the Creek Stand are being retired on account of safety issues. They're all built in ash trees who also are dead or in their death throes. It's sad on many levels - not only because of the demise of the ash trees on the landscape but the memories of uncounted deer taken over the decades from those stands.
Anyway, new locations for replacement guard tower style stands have been scouted and prepped and are well out of reach of any toppling ash trees. This week Braumeister and I will be deploying and performing final assembly of two of them.
Constructed of treated lumber and utilizing fabricated steel post-holders they should stand the test of time and provide a safe, elevated and comfortable place to sit.
Here they are, ready to go. Component parts including pre-cut decking, bracing and rails all good to go. Ten foot 4x4 posts are in the background.....
