Whenever I walk this trail I wonder how many times I walked it before I noticed this stand. I can't help but wonder who built this, sat in it, and how many animals were harvested from it. It's practically on top of a strong trail, so I like to think it was a bowhunter. Some young man or woman in a plaid coat with with a recurve or longbow, back when I was just a child. What were they hunting? There's bear here, deer here, maybe they took both from this stand. Maybe moose. As a Carpenter I hate looking at it, but as a working class guy,looking at a home made stand, i can appreciate the do it yourself and save some money aspect. I can respect the person who makes it themselves. I've made enough of my own gear, that's part of the beauty.
Have any of you found a stand from the past? Share if you have!
