Just a few stand names thrown around our lease...
Bone Stand
Blue Trees
Clay Hill
Tower Stand
First Field
Black Stand
What's interesting is how stands often get their name. In most cases, it's probably nothing more that the first thing that comes out of a person's mouth when they try to somehow differentiate the stand from others in the area. But without question, the best names come from people and events that are somehow linked with the stand itself. Once such stand on our lease would be the "Toilet Paper" stand. The name stuck after an abundance of toilet paper was found in the area after a hunter had certain stomach issues while hunting it one morning.

Fun thread. My guy's have one they call the "hotel blind". I guess because it is pretty big. Looks like something that came from "Motel 5 1/2", not quiet a 6. Another is the "junkyard blind". Every ranch has a row of dead feed trucks, etc that have gone on the that great feedlot in the sky. Mine is no different and you once had to work your way through my junkyard to get to the blind. High scrap prices ended the junkyard but the blind's name lives on. I am sure the new guy on the lease wonders where the name came from.

We have "Arnold's Blind", "Albert's Blind", and "Luke's (me) Blind". We also have 3 more that we don't use much. "Tony's Blind", "The Blind That's tipped over", and "The Blind by the Road."
I'll be in my blind "Luke's", and hopefully it won't be a damn sweatbox in there. The temperatures down here in South Texas have been in the mid to upper 90s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you want some friendly advice, get a haircut and take a bath. You wouldn't get hassled so much.

The SIL Stand - I married in so I get the last pick of the stands. Not complaining since I get to hunt for free, but there is a reason there were never stands where I get to hunt.
