No very hot actually way too hot for an old man.
I have got to go back and straightened that out. I was just trying to get them up at the time. I was out of 2x4's and grabbed some 1X stuff I had laying around.
Had the Mrs. working the tractor and she had enough.

Mine would have looked much worse than that even if I'd done it stone cold sober.1982vett":329o3eaw said::lol: I saw that too but wasn't going to say anything....you know when you leave an obvious flaw it can hide a lot of minor imperfections. :nod:Caustic Burno":329o3eaw said:TexasBred":329o3eaw said:CB were you drunk when you measured and cut those braces on #1?? ;-)

I don't know how long the legs are, but there's one just like that sitting on my place..belonged to my brother. Anchored down with teeposts too. I think it has a wood floor tho.backhoeboogie":1iwnw5vc said:Carpenter2n":1iwnw5vc said:why do you call it hunting?
Mostly because I don't like getting that call to go find a gut shot deer the city boys were chasing. Stand hunting is one shot, no waste.
CB mine are steel. 20 foot legs. I lay them up in the dump trailer with the box hanging out the top and use the hydraulics to get them up about 60%. Then they pull right on up easily. You need a back tie in case someone pulls too hard.
I drive T posts deep at the bases so that the wind doesn't topple them. So far I have been lucky.
Carpeted floor and walls holds down noise. Remnants work perfect.

My granddaddy took me out deer hunting. It was a coming of age thing. He handed me a board and pointed to a "good tree"
It must be really nice to have box stands like that when you are just getting started. CB you are spoiling them.
