We are all getting to see some cool sights and landscapes from our stands right now. One of the things I want to make sure I do a better job at this year is taking some pics from the stand. I started last night with the tree frog I encountered and I took some pics of my view from that stand as well. Here is what I was looking at last night...
This is the intersection of the logging roads that run N/S and E/W. (I'm looking due south here...) I have hunted from this general location before and it's always been a great spot due to topography. There are two ravines that meet this saddle about 50 yards in front of my stand, both running E/W. There are logging roads out the shelves on either side of those ravines, as well as the main trails that run the ridge tops. There is a bean field south of me, along with thick bedding, oaks, and a pasture field.
This is the view looking towards my stand on out Hippie Ridge. I am about 250 yards east of where I have been getting all the pics of Moe. I mowed down a path through the thicket to get in from the N. (I'm looking due W in this picture...) The does I saw last night came from my 2 o'clock in this picture and walked right down the road underneath my stand. They left my sanctuary which is 100 yards out in that same direction. If you run all the way out Hippie Ridge, it also turns into bedding area about 350 yards this stand...
This is the view looking due E out of the stand. At the 9 o'clock in this picture is an annual scrape location that I just opened up. At the 3 o'clock position, is the logging road that runs out the ridge towards the bedding area. There are two oaks dropping acorns out this ridge, so it'll be the place to see deer for a while...
The next time you grab a seat with a great view, be sure to share it with us!!!
