We were fortunate last yr to get a farm close to 200 acres. We decided to give names of stands and the terrain so our grand kids could be able to tell us where they were. The youngest will be 15 next month so for safeties sake we came up with these names
Far East side of property we named. Asia
Middle trail in prop. Middle trail
Hens den. Named after oldest child. She's protective
Edwards Esby
Ethan's Edge
Evans Heaven
Sofies Squeeze real tight trail
Tree house stand. Yes we built the kids a treehouse
Hog wallow stand
Oat stand.
White oak pass
Cardiac Hill. I borrowed this name from Tom Phillips Canada bear hunt where I harvested a bear
Double man stand
Summit ladder stand
South side corn feeder
Middle field stand
Old tree house stand
And 4 shooting houses. 1-4.
This helps us know where everyone is and they love their names on the property.
Also. We took old shovels and painted them black and hung them up on the trails and stands with the names painted in white.

Hero stand and catapult are the only with any zing to them.
The catapult got its name from a series of texts between my friend Preacher and I.
See, Preacher placed the stand in a tree about as big around as the riser of my longbow. I mentioned to him that as soon as I stepped on to the stand, the tree bent over and I was only two feet off the ground and it was loaded like a catapult!
His reply....I feel 4 the enemy!

Ok not as exciting as it sounds at least for me. And I'm sure they it was a happily married couple. I hunt public property in NW lower peninsula there is allot of two tracks and the DNR has been felling trees and digging berms and pits to reduce vehicle access. Well at one of my parking spots there was you guessed it a Purple Bra hanging in the branches.

On my lease most stand sites are maintained and kept in the same spot for year. Most are named for the hunters that put them there or hunted it most. But a few have names. We have the bear stand, ant hill, red grass, the squirrel tree, the hog stand and white box.
Of these my only stand that has a name is red grass. It has lots of tall grass that turns reddish brown in the fall around it. It makes for some tough tracking unless you paint it red with a Simmons type blood trail.

I come from a large family and to allow us to all hunt we have a lot of stands.

Ridge bowl (odd land formation where a ridge forms a tight half moon)
Tobacco Barn (old drying barn in the middle of the woods)
Pole Barn Holler (draw near a pole barn)
Hidden Oaks (an oak grove that cannot be seen in the planted pines...this is a great place in the rut)

Two weeks ago we had a mandatory camp work day and another stand got a name. One member built a blind out of pallets and tar paper but never put a roof on it. There was an old box stand that was unsafe and the legs were rotting but the posts from the platform up were still solid. I climbed into the bucket of the tractor and had my chainsaw in there with me. I cut the posts off at the platform. We used nylon straps hooked to the bucket and just set it over the pallet blind. Now it's called the box top blind.
