Where was "well blind", stx?

Have a buddy with an outstanding ranch in south texas with a blind named that, but I'm sure it's not exactly rare.

Crapped My Pants blind usually produces.

It's a secret why I named it that though.

Neat idea for a thread! I'm not sure where I'll end up --- depends on the wind, and I may hunt Sat/Sun/Mon in 3 different stands. But I think the names are sometimes good for a chuckle. Here are the stands on my friend's ranch, and why the name:

1. Pop's - it was his Dad's stand
2. Railroad - on an old railroad bed.
3. middle - its kinda in the middle, but more North?
4. Wheatfield - you guessed it!
5. South -- musta been after a few drinks,because it is the most middle one!
6. Tank - Its next to the tank
7. Sniper - its the longest shot to the feeder.
8. Cliffhanger - on the edge of a high rock ledge, about 35' up, can't see the edge fROm the window, and it was leaning like it was just hanging on to the cliff...fixed the lean on the Monday after Bow opening weekend..
9. Over Yonder - furthest from camp
10. Tripod - the only one that isn't a box blind is a tripod... nuff said.

Hmm.... more deer go to Middle, biggest buck pics at Cliffhanger, more mature bucks at Over Yonder --- too many choices!

Rifleman, no, my Hidey Hole stand isn't the same stand as the one my Dad hunted out of for so many years, but is built just like it and by the same carpenter (me).

And I just remembered that I do actually have the "outhouse stand", which at one time was really a one-holer outhouse. The previous landowner turned it into a deer stand once he had indoor plumbing. Nobody hunts it because buzzards lay and hatch eggs in it every year and then raise their young in it until they can fly. The original white plastic chair is still in there, along with the original toilet seat, and everything is encrusted in buzzard crap. All I do with it is show visitors what baby buzzards look like. The little ones are cute, with tan colored down all over them, but they do turn ugly real fast.

Sendero, pear flats, radio tower, or north blind. Was in the south blind opening bow season, will still be bowhunting. Hopefully somebody that's busted out their fire stick will push 'em my way! Good luck guys!

We once had what I coined as "The Drunk Stand". It was a wooden platform with a swivel-type boat seat nailed to it. Not being completely perpendicular, it made you feel as if you would fall backwards when you turned around in it. As I told our lease president, "Anyone with a hang-over has no business hunting it."

1. The roofless tower
2. Tower on the pipeline
3. The far east
4. Red snapper
5. Gray metal
6. Oma's
7. Short tower

These are my options. I think I'll go with the tower on the pipeline (my personal favorite, even though I've never actually harvested a buck from that blind)
