Tree stand names?

[Pydpiper]

The only stand I hunt from is an old tree fort made by the children of the farmers who's land I hunt. They have all grown up an moved on now. The location is perfect for those far and few times I get in a tree, no walls, just a 4x4 platform with a heck of a nice view.
On the tree is an old chunk of wood with the name "karen" carved deeply in to it. When I hunt it I tell the wife I am going to hunt Karen, so she knows where I am. I have to be careful if there are people around though, My ex-wife's name is Karen too.

Ah yes...such memories of "tree stand names". It's how the boys in the camp would speak, back in Nova Scotia. Here's a few we've used over the years:

The Number 1 Stand (very productive over the past 10+ years, earning it's name!)
The River Stand
The Point
The Windy Stand (not a fun one on blustery days!)
Tranquility Bay (my departed father's favorite....)
The Pines
The Chair
The Oaks
The Swamp Stand

Fun times had at all of them........

Using primarily a climber I tend to name the trees that we use in an area.

I cant even begin to name mine I would never keep track and knowing my luck I would call one out in my sleep and my wife would think I had a mistress

Wow! When you think about it, there are many and only a few close friends know exactly what you mean when you mention these. They or I could go to them with just a mention of the Name. You just dont realize how many until you put em down on Paper.
