What are your best ones you have and the stories behind them? I'll get a few started
Bed & breakfast - closest to the house, easiest to hunt and you can wake up later.
Pudding - first guy that hunted it had a blow out
Beer blind - had a few while it was being built
Little house on the prairie - sits up ontop of a hill overlooking the pasture
Way down yonder on the chatahoochie - only blind near a creek on the property
Death march - two portly fellows tagged along on a "death march" while scouting for where to put a blind
Normandy - sits ontop of a cliff with a large sandy area below We have one just like this called the Old Man blind. Another is not a blind, but a deck with a built in table built on the edge of a hill overlooking a valley that is named The Veranda. That one has shots up to 500 yards. The rest are pretty straightforward (Creek, River, Hilltop, etc.).

I haven't shot a deer from that spot, but I killed a pig at 380 yards there last year. We have steel plates set up from 200 to 500 so we hang out there quite a bit during the off season. EDIT: I just saw the other thread so I now get your comment.

Hilton, because it is a 5x8 White oak, because of a single large white oak tree in the middle of the food plot Turkey Hill, because we have never seen a turkey but found turkey feathers there Pine ally, because we cut a shooting lane through the pine trees Bone yard, because that is where we drag all the dead hogs and hunt coyotes and hogs out of it.

I built a 3' x 3' platform eighteen feet up a massive Sweet Gum, permanently attached to the tree with an angle iron frame. When I brought my son to show him the stand he pointed out a dead limb about eight inches in diameter ten feet directly above the platform, and named it High Anxiety.

Current ones:
River Cliff South (it's at the southernmost place on our place Big Cedar (it's made entirely from Cedar, since one of our guys sells Cedar lumber, and it's in a cedar thicket) Top Wheat Walk-In (may become "wide open spaces" since landowner cleared every piece of brush for hundreds of yards) Levee Saddle (it's in a saddle area between two wheat fields) High Line (because Cliff was take, and it's under a cross country high line) El Arroyo (because it sits in a ditch, I like the restaurant by that name, and wife is a Pat Green fan) Actually we are about to erect El Arroyo III Boom Box (for several reasons) Now it's actually Boom Box II
Previous: East No Man Corner Two Ponds Cactus Roadside Park El Diablo
Before this, we went with who built and maintained each stand a feeder. About 12 years ago we went to no ownership/community property. Never had a problem, other than everyone saying "Where do you want to hunt?, I don't know... " repeatedly now.
