Preparing stand for next year
The land owners where I hunt are going to be doing some major logging this year. Some areas will be clear cut, others thinned. I'm building a mobile deer stand, just the right thing for a large clear cut area. It's built on an old boat trailer frame http://www.pensacolafishingforum.com/f50/boat-trailer-20-boat-482546/
The box part of the stand is around 4x6', and will be around 10' from the ground to the floor. It can be pulled down the road, then tipped up wherever you want the stand to be. I'll add photos of the more finished product.

Looks tippy! 
update!
The stand is 90% complete. Time to see if it will stand up. Ropes in place, truck as the "anchor" and the excavator doing the pulling. It went flawlessly up and down. I'm going to add a couple of diagonal braces to stiffen it some more. I plan to mill out some sliding widows, and paint everything.
