Old Treestand Pics

We found it wile deer hunting. I sent my buddy to the left of this certain swamp and I went to the right. About a 1/2 hour into the hunt I called my buddy back to the truck because it was just to thick. When we got to the truck my buddy was telling me about the stand and said he jumped a bear. So I had to see what he was talking about. The barrell was full of apples and other stuff and the branches zip tied to the stand were still green. I left quick so not to get put on the spot by a warden. Last year my old man was archery hunting deer in a stand of timber in the same area and the warden had a sting set up. 3 wardens fully camoed about 1/2 mile in the woods started to ask him questions about the barrell.

Just the steps remain...if you wish to call them steps

Don't have pictures, because it was burnt up in a fire.  But there was one I sat in that was way up a ridge in tall timber, where someone had found a tall stump, where a big tree had broken off maybe 20 feet up, and he hauled a chainsaw in there, and cut a chair into the top of it, with steps leading all the way up.  It was actually pretty cool, I really wish it was still there, it was a good spot to sit!  A little spooky though, with it being on a steep sidehill, and on the downhill side it was probally thirty feet down.

Apples... Not pastries and bacon fat or molasis or rotted meat?  It is not illegal to bait deer in Washington. While most people baiting deer would just put apples on the ground, in a barrel elevated so racoons don't get to them would be a smart move.
