Surviving Minnesota!

[bobbi-j]

I know your all wondering what all is in my man cave deer stand..

so here are the pictures.

First I will post the photo of my deer stand in the wild.
Notice how it blends in with the environment in such a perfect way even a doomsday sayer would have to approve.View attachment 2402855
Upon entering the deer stand you notice the fine carpeting. Very plush for those times you want to kick your shoes off.View attachment 2402850
Some might think it’s crowded, it is not, I have taken the minimalist approach. Many items serve dual purposes. You will also notice the furnace. It runs on fracked natural gas, very economical today, however, I am afraid it will run out of cheap energy on Jan 20, 2021. In the background you see the fuel storage device. That is a rental.
The Frabill storage cabinet is right next to the fuel storage. It is loaded with peanuts and fruit for when I am entertaining guests.View attachment 2402850

Next I will show you the outside items. View attachment 2402836
A bird feeder to keep the wild birds happy and the Zombi Chicksdees away. One for suet and one for seed. In the modern camouflage color.

The cover of the food storage area is also a coffee table and holder for my bionic ears. I find they are amazing for those of us with hearing loss.View attachment 2402793
backing up a tad and going outside you will see my septic tank. This tank is completely self contained, no leakage whatsoever. Also environmentally friendly.

I suppose now is the time to show you the indoor portion, or lavatory

this should be self explanatory.View attachment 2402795
above is my tool box where I store bungee cords, I plan to try bungee jumping later.
Other storage areas include;
The fancy sparkling water fridge.

The extra ammo and hand wipes countertop, below the ammo and wipes is the handy digested food storage tank. With a liner and a tight sealing cover to keep annoying odors out.

Below is the dining room table: made 100% out of recycled political signs.View attachment 2402821

on the table you see covers for the bionic eyes. My candy bowl and nut and fruit bowl. My night light. And camo tape.

Below is my coat closet:

as you can see the fracked natural gas container serves As a work bench for my tool.

That’s quite the mansion you’ve got there, Ralphie!

Morning . I see a wind advisory for Ralphie today .

 

[duluthralphie]

Strong winds again... no deer moving again

 

[bobbi-j]

Strong winds again... no deer moving again

Only thing moving here is my ground blind. I keep thinking it’s going to blow away. I’m going to collapse it when I go off stand so maybe it won’t end up in the big slough to the north of us.

Well... this was a first for me... Great Minnesota gun opener... Odd Minnesota opener.... this morning I harvested a beautiful 10 point buck, this was my first ever deer with a shotgun, as I am usually a rifle hunter. As I'm walking around a pond, tracking my deer, I look down to see a 3 foot alligator 10 feet in front of me. After contacting the game warden, I was informed I could shoot it. No clue how it got there, or why. I'm guessing someone had it as a pet and released it when it got too big. Either way, only in 2020 can you go out to sit for deer gun season opener in Minnesota and shoot an alligator. I'm still at a loss of words lol. Legit speechless. The plan is to mount them together in a fun taxidermy piece.

Ralphie are you sure you have left room in your stand for a person ? It seems quite well stocked with what a hunter could use.
All of those extravagances might lead to a hunter doing more napping than watching ?

That would freak me out. Stupid people who dump pets. Poor thing would have died anyway. Better to go quick.

No news from Ralphie . Maybe he blew away or perhaps he go a deer .
