OP you ever looked into getting one of those 8-10 ft tripod deer stands? I don't think they are that expensive. They have a swiveling seat and a shooting rail I believe. I bet that would be great out there in the flat country.

Baldona, I've been hunting pd's for 25 years and I can honestly say I've NEVER thought of that; actually sounds rather interesting. The extra elevation afforded by a short tripod would be VERY nice. There'd be problems transporting it w/o going to a longer trailer. We usually use a 4'X8' or 5'X8' trailer. The short tripods I have would take up a lot of the trailer space since they're not made to break down very much. Would definitely need to anchor it to the ground. Even on days when the wind is kinda quiet, it may still suddenly gust to 10 mph or so; I wouldn't want to be on a tripod that's blowing in the wind. The shooting rails would need some modifications to be more stable. Shooting a deer at 200 yards from a tripod rest would be nothing like shooting a pd at 200 yards or more. Nevertheless, I'll give it some more thought.
