I’ve often wondered why they would make a tree stand made for two. Is it for the heavier guy or girl so they have more room and stability? Is it for the hunter and his cameraman? Is it for the lovers of the wild to share their love of hunting?
I just can’t grasp how two people can fit on a tree stand made for two. Have you ever sat in a booth next to your husband and you can’t find enough room for your purse? And for love of a lefty, my husband has to sit on my left. Or is it my right? No it’s the left. See, it’s confusing and cramped and I can’t imagine being those lovers of the wild sharing a love for hunting from the same tree stand.
Aww how cozy.
This is like a lil love shack.
Remember on one of our first dates you sat in the booth next to me and I said, “Down boy. I’m not that kind of sit-on-the-same-side-of-the-booth-kind-of-girl. That’s for couples that wear the same outfits?”
Well look at us now my lil love shacker. We even have on matching camouflage.
Your sides heavier, what if it tips over?
No I don’t eat cupcakes when you’re sleeping.
Oh for the love of a pair of 18 year old hips.
Where can I hang my purse?
And my snacky snack bag?
If you’re lefty do you sit on the righty or the lefty of me?
Does that mean you shoot lefty or righty?
For the love of climbers, now I have to climb over you.
Can you scratch my back?
I smell something and it’s not a skunk.
Maybe this is a little too cozy.
I need to take your picture.
Oh look, it’s a picture of your nose because that’s how close we are.
If by some chance I lied about my weight does that matter?
Oh deer. Don’t want us humpty dumptying over.
Seriously, how do two hunters fit in this thing?
When we get home can you kill that 12ft centipede I saw in the basement?
Can you please move over a bit?
My hair is stuck in your arrow.
Who invented this thing?
You’re touching me.
This is the dumbest outdoor love shack thingy I’ve ever been in.
It’s like both of us having to share an outhouse at the same time.
And it smells like it too.
I’m done.
I don’t care that the sun hasn’t come out yet. I’ve had enough.
This will not be on my Christmas list.
Ok, so it wouldn’t be anyway because I’m not a hunter or huntress. But if I were, having a cozy lil love shack of a deer stand wouldn’t be my thing.
Have a good day all!

I’ve got to agree with you. I don’t know that I’d want to hang out in a tree stand built for two.
Too funny, Jody. Especially the bit about lying about your weight.
Thankfully my wife hunts from her very own treestand, so we’ve never had to share one. If he had I think it might have sounded something like what you’ve described, especially the “You’re touching me” part.
Maybe a ground blind would make a better “LOVE SHACK”!!! I bet Mark would consider that!!!
Hubby bought me a “two man” tree stand just so that I’d have enough room for all my stuff
My sleeping bag to keep me warm, my bag of snacks, the extra coat… oh and because I always feel like I’m going to fall out of the stand when I just have a “one man” tree stand.
I’m glad he’s never tried to sit in my stand with me… I could handle it for a few minutes but then I’d need my space back!
hehehe.. a tree stand built for two.. you don’t say.. and where do I find one of these.. could be fun, we usually just have to sit on a limb up in a tree someplace.. lol
That is to funny.
Never used a tree stand – not big in the west. But I share tiny pit blinds with Boyfriend all the time. Sometimes it sounds like you imagine…
Your blog is the funniest things I have read in a long time. I love to hunt, but my journey to get to where I am sounds a bit like your conversation in the buddy stand. I have hunted for 15 years and there are still things I don’t understand! Thanks for showing that you can be a non-hunter and still support the hunters in your life. Great job!
Hysterical! Two-”man” stands are great for taking a kid hunting but even then it’s tough, especially for bow-hunting. Having a two-person stand all to oneself though; now that provides a level of comfort and security you won’t find anywhere else in the deer woods.
I’ve hunted in a one-man stand and a two-man stand and the two-man stand is the best so I can spread out with all my stuff! I don’t have room for another person…but have hunted with my husband, daughter and grandkids and it’s pretty tight quarters. I would much rather hunt alone but love your post – it’s a hoot and it’s all for real! Been there, done that!
