Macon County #1 - I was probably 12 or 13. Three 2x4's nailed in the fork of a tree about 25 feet off the ground. Steps were railroad spikes with nailed with the spacing for a grown man. Once I was in, there I sat until dad came and got me down. Could really on stand in the stand.

Macon County #2 - 15 foot tall metal scaffold that was used in a Russell Mill plant. No real ladder, so dad had to help me climb up. Stand was placed on an angle so you had to stand on the high side or it would feel like it was going to tip over. When you got on the platform on a cold, frosty morning you had to either grab the railing, which was freezing or you would slowly slide down to the lower side. So the option was always, slide down and work you way back to the high side, repeat, repeat, repeat until the frost melted.

Barbour County - Best Stand - Bag chair on top of a peanut combine. I could have done jumping jacks on that thing and the deer wouldn't have paid any attention.

If this is what they call a Baker style climber then yeah, this is what my cousins had. Damn death trap.

That would be the newer, improved Baker style. The original ones were worse than that.
