I've got one hung behind the house as an observation stand. After sitting in it a few times, I see it needs to be about 10' further up the tree in order to be less visible. I plan on hanging another observation stand on another farm this weekend overlooking a secluded bean field, as well as a set of sticks between two bean fields that I can climb up and glass the fields while wearing my lineman's belt.
I probably won't hang any stands until late August once I get a better idea of what is out there, and where they are coming from. I've got four sets of 20' sticks that I plan on putting up with a few screw-in steps to get me up a little higher, coupled with a Millennium Receiver. I plan on using the My LW/Muddy Sticks with my Muddy stand as my mobile setup this year, and I plan on being more mobile than I have been in the past years. I need to get on the ball and get some cameras out and some evening scouting done, or I'm gonna be unprepared come the end of September...
***EDIT***
I also have plans over my next seven day break to build a platform for my groundblind here behind the house. I need to get out and decide how high I'm gonna build it, but I was thinking 5-6ft high would be just fine. The field rolls around the edge, cresting in the center of the field, and I would like to be up just high enough to see over the crest of the hill, and be a little higher up than the deer's eye level. Gonna put in in about 20 yards up the field edge from where the wife killed her buck last year.
