Twenty years ago this tree stand was used by many in the family to hunt for deer. I hated when the wind blew; that old tree creaked; it sounded like your nails scrapping across a blackboard. I didn't mind the climb up to it; I only had trouble with the first step out of it. Now no one uses it anymore; it has seen better days. Walking by it brought alot of memories back of when my son got his first deer 17 yrs.ago (4 point)
