How to make a Deer Stand


Start with a small to medium size camping trailer




Pull it out to a likely looking area



Jam some poles in the ground



Use a couple of tractors with loaders



Raise it WAY UP (and fasten it!)



Drink a beer or two and step back to admire your work



Build a deck (so you'll have a place to sit outside and drink another beer



Build some nice stairs so you don't have to go down a ladder while inebriated



Practice shooting deer with a piece of lumber



Can't live on beer alone. Don't burn down the deck though

That is actually a pretty good feat to overcome if you ask me !!! I would love to have that on my land..... Wake up, look outside in the blowing snow to see if meat is out in the field. If not go back to sleep. If so: crack the door. Shoot. Go back to sleep to get fully rested for the upcoming work of loading the deer in the front bucket of the loader. !!!!

I have been hunting a fishing for nearly 30 years. That is by far the best looking and most functional stand I have ever seen. Great write up!

I wish I could take credit for it but I can't. This was an email I just got and I had to share. It was too cool!

"Build some nice stairs so you don't have to go down a ladder while inebriated"... Oh yeah, I'd much rather fall down a setastairs than a ladder when I'm hammered!

Someone wanna donate a trailer to me? I'll do the same thing here and LIVE in the thing!

The neighbors will just take it for scrap if they don't move the in-laws in.

The neighbors are takin' care of themselves lately... armed robbery the a shooting over there last week, one person killed. And I'll be happy to continue that trend for them if they set foot over here!

Start leaving a case of beer and cigarettes laced with salt peter at the back fence.... eventually it'll help thin the heard.
