Why is the outhouse in a tree?

So you can build a bigger pile under it. It is a test model for Seattle.

Unit 356, FS land, he also found 2 other tree stands that looked to not have been used in awhile.

Post by: goldenhtr on September 28, 2019, 05:53:20 PM: I'm thinking they have a ladder stashed close by. Wood looks new, also it's overlooking a water hole. Can't see them hiking in carrying a ladder.

Funny you say that, son and friend were up at a higher elevation and could look down and see it without binos. They were a mile as the crow flies from it. :yike:

date:

This below is from the last page of that link to the tree stand topic back in 2017. Guess the Ranger forgot to come back and cut it down lol

USFS drove and stopped by my friends camp. Ranger talked about giving out tickets to those ATV-ing into the 1502 closed road area, down the road quite a ways from Timberwolf turnoff.
Friend mentioned the treestand. USFS ranger asked him to show the location. They went and USFS logged coordinates via GPS. Back at USFS vehicle, got on his computer and made an official report.
USFS enforcement will monitor this site during muzzle and modern seasons, hoping to catch user.
but the stand will come down, at the hands of the ranger personally (chain saw).

YES, ranger verified it is illegal to build and permanent stand on national forest lands, open to the public. And if caught using a permanent stand, a hefty fine too.

Post by: meatwhack on October 04, 2019, 08:17:32 PM: But someone claimed that area to hunt look at all the hard work and time they’ve put into it.
Title: Re: Son Found the Taj Mahl :)
Post by: trophyhunt on October 04, 2019, 08:20:38 PM: Too bad people Cant mind their own business, nice set up. Could have been built to help an elder person still enjoy hunting. Everyone wants a trophy, wouldn’t have hurt anyone to leave it alone.
Title: Re: Son Found the Taj Mahl :)
Post by: TheStovePipeKid on October 04, 2019, 09:24:45 PM: Maybe the USFS discovered the stand grew there naturally so they didn't need to cut it down. I mean just look at the authentic natural coloring and foliage. :tup:

Post by: NRA4LIFE on October 04, 2019, 09:30:54 PM: Last time me and a buddy found one illegally on public land we had a ball. Wasted a box or more of 12 gauge ammo but it was shot down.
Title: Re: Son Found the Taj Mahl :)
Post by: Goshawk on October 05, 2019, 09:00:29 PM: I've found a spot that's got at least three stands like that and larger. A local log buyer put them up and cut in some shooting lanes, including fir trees. He then charges by the 1/2 day for access. It's on some Manke Lumber land, so I've no idea if the company knows the tree cutting damage he's doing to line his own pockets.

Agreed

Post by: Stein on October 06, 2019, 07:29:55 PM: So, if it is an illegal build on public land, isn’t it everyone’s business?
