What happens here

To finalize the hunting stand setup, especially for legal compliance in certain states, ensure that the stand is either completely detached from the ATV (by pulling pins as demonstrated) or that its support legs are firmly on the ground, making it a non-motorized platform. This fulfills the requirement of not hunting from a motorized vehicle. For optimal stability, particularly in adverse weather or on uneven ground, secure the stand by strapping it to sturdy trees or anchoring it to the ground. Additionally, for convenient access without the ATV, auxiliary ladders can be attached to the stand.

Goal: Ensure the hunting blind setup is fully compliant with regulations and maximally stable.

Tools and materials

  • ATV — The vehicle from which the stand is detached
  • Auxiliary Ladders — For climbing the stand when the ATV is not providing access
  • Ground Anchors — To secure the stand to the ground
  • Hunting Blind Frame — The base structure of the hunting stand
  • Securing Pins — Used to detach the stand from the ATV
  • Straps — To secure the stand to trees or ground anchors

you can do that. Okay, for legality purposes in Minnesota, you're not allowed to hunt out of a vehicle. Not Not allowed to discharge a firearm on a motorized vehicle. Well, technically, with the legs on the ground, even if it's still attached to the machine, you're rendering the machine immobile, you're on a non-motorized platform, 100% of your body weight is transmitted to the ground. So, technically, you're on the ground. So, So, by rights, you're legal, but if you really want to go the extra distance, >> then you pull these pins right here, and then you dis- you detach it. You just pull the machine right out from underneath it. And now there is zero question at that point. >> zero question. >> Now you can have your stand hunting stand wherever you want wherever you want. >> Yep. And then you should also strap it though. So, once you get it there, >> Yeah, whenever you whenever you get it out there, you put it we we recommend at every corner to either sapling trees or ground anchors. Okay. >> Yep. All right. And then we also have auxiliary ladders that you can put on there. So, if you didn't want to drive your machine up to it and then crawl up on it, we got another ladder you can use. And it's available all at the Dirt Monkey shop. >> It is. Yep. Ever since I saw you last year and you thought what the heck is this guy doing? He actually did think that. >> I knew what you were doing. >> [laughter] >> These These are good folks, you guys, and we're honored to be able to have these guys in the Dirt Monkey shop. Now, next, we're going to head north to my land and we're going to scope out a couple different pieces of shooting lanes that I've never been able to get at before and I want to get your two
