The Perfect Spot

Every year we all search for the "Perfect" spot to hang our treestands.  Well, today I hope I found that spot.  The tree wasn't ideal, but the location seems to be. 

Torn down & ready to move.

The tree had some good "lean" to it before I could get to a straight spot in the trunk to hang the actual stand.  So the ladder had to be "snaked" up the trunk!

"Snaked" the ladder up the trunk!


View from the top. To the north lays a 5 acre corn field that the deer just POUND until it's picked. 

Looking out over the corn.

View out the back.  A heavy trail runs out of the corn and back to a small timbered flat that I've thinned out and seeded with a food plot mix.  Beyond the clearing is heavy, rugged timber that stretches for miles along the Des Moines River valley.

View from the top.

After hanging the stand I hooked onto the ATV mower and cut a trail around the outside of the corn field.  This will make it easier for me to "sneak" in to the stand, making as little noise as possible. 

Sneak in the back door.
Now I just need October 1st to show up!!!
