When I hear your stories I wonder about what the woods or fields look like from your stands and blinds or wherever you hunted.Take your time and take some pictures. Whoever posts pics will get their name put into a hat and Ill draw a name on on 12/01/10. Whoever gets drawn will get an undetermined trad archery prize. If you cant pic a favorite stand multiple entries will be allowed. Get to clickin and lets see what your treated to at sunrise or sundown.
Sunrise on the Sika marsh in MD.

One of my favorite stands. The food plot was just sproutng then.
Whoa! This is a great idea! I take pictures from my stands all the time. I'll get some of mine on here soon.
Nice pictures. Mine is not as photographic as the ones above. But here they are.
One to the North West

Nice spots James. Whats the crop in the first pic? I wish I had some farm crops near me.
them 2 pictures are from the same stand. The crop year after year is beans followed by winter wheat.

Oak funnel I hunt many times a year with my climber. Already passed up one buck here, and I have been out only three times.
Close your eyes, imagine the most perfect place on earth.
No pictures needed! ;) ;) :thumbsup:
Great Idea Izzy!
Took this earlier in the year from a tree stand; turkeys like to roost in the trees in the picture.

This was this morning; I was still hunting...
(http://i886.photobucket.com/albums/ac67/peastes/IMG_0360.jpg)
Did a bit of sneaking in the high grass this morning, too. I only succeeded in scaring a couple of deer. Too bad I'm limited out on turkeys; I would have had a 10 yard shot.

this is a natural ground blind on the edge of one of my favorite kudzu fields. if you look in the middle of the first pic, you'll see to already feeding.

I'll second that.
Nice picture Pat!! Did you make the shot?
From what I can see it wouldn't be a legal deer here in Missouri since they passed the 4 point rule here.
I think Missouri is trying to become competitive with Iowa, Ohio, Nebraska, Illinois, and Kansas. I guess we are trying to grow the big "$Bucks$"..lol
God bless,Mudd

Not sure if this will work or not, but here is a short video clip of a button buck I took this morning. I've never video'ed from the stand before, but it was kind of fun!

Here's a few shots from my stand on October 30th, we got our first snow the night before. Sure makes it easier to see where the deer are walking.

Good luck everyone.
I like this idea for a thread. Here are some pictures of the two stands I am using the most this year. The first one is from Canadian county, about 45 miles west of Oklahoma City. Taken Oct. 30th at 8:00am.
View looking to the North

This stand is in Logan county. About 25 miles North of Oklahoma City. Taken around 4:30pm on October 30th.
Looking to the East

This is where I killed the deer in my avatar last season. A well worn deer trail runs down the center of the picture, and he came along that trail as I was still hunting.

this is a western view from a stand i have on the edge of some hardwoods. this is a funnel between a hardwood ridge behind me and a kudzu field on the other side of the trees in front. missed a smallish buck here at the top edge of the sunlight tue. morning. this is about as open as it gets in eastern hardwoods.

Gray Buffalo.....nice spot,love a good ground blind. Nice looking bow also!! :thumbsup:
what a cool dead fall to use as a blind! has it been working for you? have you been seeing many deer?
yes I am. to many a-corns. they don't have to move far to find food. Little brother had a doe lay down and eat a-corn all around herself.

Trail to the north of my stand:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/30coupe/009.jpg)
View to the northeast. The deer are crossing about where the ATV trail turns. I've got to make a move to get a shot at the ones running this trail.

Heavily used trail about 15 yards west of my stand
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v612/30coupe/005.jpg)
There is a big scrape that's kind of hard to see in this shot. The arrow is pointing to where it is. It's about 30 yards from the stand.

Wowww! Really cool shots fellas. Took some last night myself. Too busy to hunt the rest of the week, lifes keeping me busy but Ill get the pics up tomorrow and get back hunting Monday hopefully. Dang James H! Wheres a fella find such suicidal deer? They sure do hang on to life here in NY.
Very cool thread! There are some great pics on here!! I wish I would have taken some pics out of my stands the 2 days I got to hunt in WV this year.
Some awesome pic's. Great thread !
Great pics! Wow, some of you guys really hunt up in the ozone! When posting the pics, note the height of the stands, as that would be interesting to gain additional perspective. Keep them coming.
This picture was taken from my stand earlier in the year.

And another I was deliberately getting his attention to see how he would react but he just went back to feeding.

This AM about 0800. Same button buck from Monday. Taken with low budget cell phone. Stand was build Sunday afternoon 10.31.2010 and put up before dark. So far I'm 100% morning and evening sightings frm this fresh stand and all sightings have had deer withn 15 yards of the stand.
Missed a nice doe this evening from that stand. :o
