I was waiting for some snow pics! My digital was dead so I brought the video cam up with me Sun morning but the wind/snow wouldn't let up and I didn't want to get any moisture in it. It was a winter wonderland with all the white stuck to the trees. Beautiful.

The snow in the trees may look nice but I heard of a lot of issues with trees falling in So. MN. I heard one instance where the tree the hunter was in was the one that fell. I don't think the hunter was seriously injured...thankfully.

I've often thought about while being harnessed to the tree in strong winds. A guy would almost be better off unstrapping himself so he could bail. Scary stuff. Glad to hear that guy was alright.

Here's a couple of pics from stands I hunt.

The first pic is a morning pic looking to the east. Only saw a small doe fawn that morning, but she fed around the base of my tree for 15 minutes.

The second pic is where I ended up shooting a 5 ptr on the morning of 11-05-10. My first a.m. bow kill and my first bow kill using doe decoy, that was standing in the green spot, facing away from me at 21 yds.

These are from rifle season - although i am pretty sure i wouldn't have had my camera in hand if my bow was in reach.

This was from last Saturday the 13th during the snow storm over in Polk County, Wisconsin. I took these photos right around sunrise.

Took this one a couple years ago. It's not from a stand. I just happened to be walking through a hardwood ridge a just the right time of year for a good photo.

Sorry I thought this was an awesome thread and since it's that time of year when you are putting your finishing touches to your stands thought this would be a good link to have. Also, this link as well as many others can be found in the ***Ultimate HSO Archery Archive*** if later on they are no longer on Page 1

Wow this topic was really burried thought I'd get a picture in here, from the stand and one on the way out to it.

Looks like some great spots. Here's a new stand I set up. (Per my other post, this was taken by the Cuddeback when functioning properly.) I plan on putting up another stand out there this weekend or sometime next week toward those woods in the distance where the doe is headed. That spot is a small hill or knoll that in the middle is cut away and filled with old stones that were once the foundation of a barn that sat there. It overlooks a (dried up this year) creek and a wooded valley. Will have to take some pics from the stand!
