High stand

---------------------------------------------------------
I have one particular field that is absolutely teeming with fox
and rabbit (took 800+ rabbits and 4 foxes in 4 weeks of
shooting)
This field is a nightmare to shoot, and houses 100 metres to the
left and right, and also a house 500 metres away straight ahead,
plus to the rear is woodland. Its a very hilly field, and the
rabbits and foxes (counted another 16 foxes there) get into the
dips, making very difficult shooting.
What I have now bought is a hight seat.
Would normally have been £199.99 plus delivery of £25.95, but
was on special offer at Christmas and only cost £99.99 plus
£20.00 delivery, so decided to buy one.
This will give me a perch 17 feet high, and enable me to shoot
down onto the field (plus the 4 adjacent fields) ensuring safe
shots, and also allowing me to shoot into the dips in the
ground.
This is the one I've purchased. Its a bugger to assemble, as the
instructions aren't very clear, and some parts are almost
identical, but get them in the wrong p,ace, and when you come to
final assembly, it means a comp,eye strip and rebuild (I did
three rebuilds lol)
Its now assembled, and looks quite good, although the seat is a
bit Heath Robinson lol

They are heavy, but good quality. Putting it up to a tree will
be a two man job, but taking it down could be done by one.
The nice thing is that the ladder bit comes in three sections,
so can alter the height if a shorter one would do the job,
although they are designed to be out up and left, moving it
about can also be done. And when stripped into the four major
components it can be transported in the back of a smallish 4x4
too ;D

Yep, probably leave it standing most of the time, just deciding
whether to put it on the field 3 mile away, or the field next to
my house, foxes on both, but lots more rabbits on the field 3
mile away, so probably there I think. Especially seeing as its
hilly. My mates just bought one too, so probably get them both
set up there, and the should be safe (I have the keys to the
gate locks). Always worries be with the amount of thieving
buggers about, that's pen bugger will nick it for scrap, or to
sell, or to use themselves. But like I said, its heavy, and the
gate is locked, so they would have to carry it up the lane 500
metres, and drive past 5 houses to get to it too.
