I have been granted sole permission to hunt a local farm
As the land owner is tired of me asking nicely :smiley_clap: and he wants someone to be around form time to time
OK not a big place
120 total acres with about 80 in feilds , 10 acres of overgrown creek botton, 20 or so in CPR and 10 un farmable due to a limestone ridge
The limestone ridge area is over grown with brush and smaller trees
The CPR is over grown with trees and brush , but nothing bigger than 4-5" at the stump
The CPR feild is realy almost unfarmable also due to all the rocks and shallow soil
The creek bottom , again small trees and brush
The farm was just logged last year and they left few trees usable for tree stands any place even close to a decent spot
While walking the place again today
I found 2 spots just begging to be hunted , would need 4 stands to cover the normal wind directions
Both don't have a tree bigger than 4" at the stump with in 75 yds
One spot I can use a ground blinds , 1 in a dozer pile is ready made
But the other I need to get up to be efective
I have a bunch of the old style ( no longer aproved ) scaffolding
I am having a posibly crazy idea of building 1 or 2 scaffolding tower blinds
I could put them up so I was IN the limbs of the small trees
Maybe a camo burlap screen to hide behind
Nice platform for a seat
Just have to anchor the scaffolding down so the wind couldn't blow it over
A decent idea ?
Or did I inhale to much sketter spray and am about to loose it completely ?
