The Killing Tree ----- East Plot

[Professor T]

The Killing Tree was named because this is the best setup of any stand on the land. It is located on the East Plot in the general area where the deer usually congregate. The cover in the tree is excellent through most of the season because it is in a water oak.

The Killing Tree
This stand was first put up in 2004. Kevin named the stand and it is his favorite place to hunt. Both Kevin and I made our first archery kills in this tree.



Visibility of the stand is very dificult for the deer. Unless you move they will not pick you out. The stand is about 25 feet up and very well hidden.
