When he has the top built, he then builds the stand to place the "hotel" on. His measurements have to be exact so that when it comes time to put the two together, they will fit perfectly. Of course, they are not put together until they are both carried to the woods. There would be no way to haul them to the woods if they were together beforehand. I have never been a part of the "raising" of the deer stand and don't imagine that I ever will be. It is a very intense endeavor and safety is of utmost importance. Safety has always been a top priority for Tommy and I always know that he will be extremely careful in setting up the stand. He gets an able bodied friend to assist him and off they go.

I am with you...I cannot understand what is fun about going into the freezing cold at hours that shouldn't be seen to sit in a stand and try to stay awake and warm. However, I totally love that the boys like to go along with them and Lilly even claims she is going this year. It'll be like a little mini vacation with only one kiddo at home!
