Me and a few buddies were gonna carry a statue of a lady to another buddies stand so he'd see it peaking out of the bushes at him. We just haven't gotten around to it yet. He gets freaked out over everything. He won't walk to or from the deer stand very early or too late in the evening because he's scared of the dark.
That’s pretty funny. We put a stuffed monkey on top of a buddies feeder for opening morning on time. Much rather see that statue than bears chewing on my ladder.
There is certain etiquette involved in a deer stand joke, no rubber snakes, no explosives, no noxious odors, and the most critical element is to make sure that somebody else will be blamed for it.
When I was a kid, the lease we were on near Marble Falls had an old stagecoach station that was used as a bunkhouse. While snooping around there one weekend, I found a closet in a back bedroom. Inside the closet was a mannequin in camoflage, a full body mounted 10 point buck, a contraption that could be rigged on a box blind door to launch a brown ball with a coon tail on it, a convincingly painted black and tan pig silhouette, and a few other items. Upon inspection, the mannequin, the buck, and the pig all had bullet holes in them. I asked my dad what was up with the closet full of weird stuff. He simply said "deer season pranks" and left it at that.
