Passing by old treestands

[BigArcher]

Many years ago I was stationed at Quantico Va as an MP.  I was out hunting on base one morning.  Saw nothing for a while then noticed some tracks that were new since I had passed earlier.  I looked around a saw a wooden tree stand just off the trail a bit.  I checked it for sturdiness and climbed in. 20 minutes later a had a nice 7 point buck down.  I thanked whoever built it.
On Corporals pay back then meat wasn't often in the budget for the family.

At the club I used to belong to in GA we leased the 85ac next to us. It was previously least by some guys that used pallets for the platforms with wood ladders up to them. They were quite sturdy and very roomy. We didn't use them much but each one of about 6 or 8 were placed in excellent hunting areas. We used climbers in these areas so we could play the wind right.
 Another old stand I saw once was an old metal tube kitchenette chair nailed to a tree about 15' up. Looked like a good place to die! d;^)

There were actually 4 different old, old wooden stands in a 50 yd proximity of my tree I was in. For that day we were all wrong, needed to be back & to the left 75 yds.
