If you've ever hunted a deer lease before, you know that most if not all stands carry a name that hunters use to identity them. So what is the name of the stand that you'll be hunting on Opening Day?

Right now it looks as if I will be hunting the "Back Door". This name is not so much the name of the stand itself, but the area where I have setup a ladder stand. The area gets its name from the fact that deer often pass through the area to exit our lease and find safety on public land.

Our 3 newest sets are not named other than, "the one across the road", "the one by the bucket feeder", and "the one before the bridge".
All our other stands are named which makes this year tough for communicating with the older guys on our place!

The heralded "lower pasture" will house my buddy.

I'll be in "the tripod on the hill".

Nobody sitting in "upper pasture blind" this time.

We may try a little rattling in "the woods" where the "game trails cross".

Good question and I'm happy to answer. I'll be in the "tall blind", which is the tallest box blind we have. The others are: "the 25 acre stand"; "the old bright green stand";, "the lovers lane blind", and "the hidey hole blind".

Your question made me smile and made me remember all the stands my Dad used to name. He was big on naming them, and my "hidey hole" stand is named in his honor, and after his favorite box blind, that I made for him.

The "Back", we also have the "new one", sprink tank, tower, pallet blind and the tank.


I don't smoke ,so I can't say but I highly doubt it. I do know a loud fart works! I think they like the smell plus I guess they think it's a buck grunt.

I'll probably be on the Pipeline. We also have the Purple Feeder, that no longer is purple! Two others are easy, Archie's and John's. We have two other stands that have not been officially labeled.

We have River(down by the river),
Corner(in the corner),
No Man(because before we moved it no man would hunt there), Levee (cause it's by the levee),
Top Wheat(which is wild since there's no bottom wheat),
Cliff (yep, on a cliff),
South,
Big Cedar(because it's 8x8, made from cedar, and in a cedar thicket),
Walk-in(cause its close to our sanctuary and we agreed, walkin only),
Tower,
PopUp (which moves),
and my two favorites,
El Arroyo Dos (my wife's a Pat Green fan, favorite Austin Restaurant, and, it's in a Ditch, and it's the replacement.), and of course everyone's favorite, The Boom Box.......

There's soon to be Resurrection(the original el arroyo),
and Big Oak as well....

Opening weekend, I'll be home and at TMS for the race; Next weekend, my wife will be at Levee and I'll be at No man, unless we both go to boom box.

I'll be in the "bear stand", my wife will be in either the "upper field" or at the "y". I'll probably hunt the "nose bleed" too opening weekend.
