This is probably the most extravagant old stand / blind I've ever seen in the woods.
Two sided L-shaped seat and full gun rest opposite the seat. Full roof.
The ladder is much more recent than the original structure.
Remember the Baker climbing stands? I had one of these back in the day. They were easy to make and just about every high school kid here in GA made a bootleg copy in shop class. Aluminum was harder to find and more expensive so most were made with steel. They were a bit heavier, but a lot cheaper.

More Turkey and deer than squirrelsLooks like it is a shag bark hickory tree with a maple log infront of it.
You see lots of squirrels around it?
Don't like a thief but that guy might have did you a favor those Bakers had to be one of the most dangerous stand ever made.That isn't mine. It was stolen out of the bed of my truck years ago. Just a photo I found on the internet.

You think Bakers weren't dangerous just do a search on Baker treestand dangers.I don't care how careful you were they would slip. Not life threatening to any one I knew but one guy couldn't hunt for a couple weeks
