this post has me bouncing off the walls. lots of good names, really brings a guy around to our good time real world deer hunting traditions.... great stuff.

[Eye Slayer]

We just started naming the different areas we hunt and this is what we have come up with so far:

Broad Ridge - a fairly wide ridge in the middle of a clear cut. My wife got a nice deer here so her gender helped lend to the name (aka 'broad' - no offense)

Twin Meadows - two meadows that are connected by a small trail

Skull Meadow - a small meadow where we found a deer skull

Man-Doe Hill - a treeline hill where a friend shot a 'doe' which turned out to be the smallest buck shot in camp that year

[ruster]

We have:

"The Press Box"- a stand large enough for 2-3 hunters

"The Martini Hut"- another large box stand

"The Widowmaker"-a small stand in a tree that sways back &forth in the slightest breeze.

"Nosebleed"- way up there.

"Adam's Oak"- Adam shot a big buck there years ago.

Lots of other common names: north stand, meadow, pasture beaver pond, etc.

Some of our favorite places around deer camp here at Lake Iwanttobethere

The Hotel- our deer shack

Slide for Life- where Elmer slid down a snow cover hill to the

Duck or Dunk Pond

Twisted Sisters- Two cedars that are wrapped around each other.

Lost Swamp- someone always gets turn around in it.

Freeway- a heavy used deer trail

The View- A bluff where you can look down at the river and the old farm

And of course every stand is numbered 1-2-3 or by hunters name.

Dan's stand....he built it, so it's named after him

The lake stand...sort of located above a lake.

The kick-out stand....My neice kicked out her cousin.

The spiral stand....it wraps around a tree.

The Hut.....

The newstand.....it is newer than all the others.

Unc's Sunday morning stand...it is close to the deer shack so on Sunday morning, he can get up, do the morning hunt and not be too far away from the camp when it is time to clean up and go to church.

The corner stand....not ours, but on the neighbors land where 2 sides of the woods meets.

Jim's stand...also the neighbors, but we use it 2nd and 3rd weekend when the don't come up.

I forgot the most famous one....Clown Island...seems about 10 years back a youngster came back to the cabin saying he saw a guy dressed like a clown over on the island...Hense the name Clown Island with balloon markers leading the way...we think it was my brother, because other than the blaze orange jacket and hat, he looks like a clown out there hunting.

"The Pines"

"The Oaks"

"The Tangle"

"The Slue"

"Cop Pine" - Super Cop hunts here; the biggest pine in the woods for the biggest boy in camp.

"Tick Hill"

"The Full Eddy" - Last year, his first year hunting with our party, Eddy sat in this oak from before sun up until after sun down for three days without moving. On the morning of the forth day, as he was getting ready to leave the woods and head back to Illinois, a buck came out of the thick stuff and presented a shot. Eddy's aim was true and the buck fell where he stood. Eddy picked up the deer, through it over his shoulders and carried it out of the woods. Now we call that stand site as well as any hard core, bad a** display of machismo "The Full Eddy".
