Tree stand "skirts"

[skeeter@ccia.com]

Pa law says if you are in a blind, you must be enclosed completely. Those 'skirts' that leave just the head show are illegal in pa. If you do use a blind such as a doghouse or outhouse or tree house, I would suggest during rifle season, the 10mile orange tarp over it. That way not only would you up the chances of someone seeing you sitting on the next hill and not shooting in your direction but you would also satisfy the orange laws....Safety first! I know of a gent that got written up when he removed his orange jacket, hung it on a limb, removed his heavy shirt under it, put the jacket back on. Reason, Not wearing 250sq in of orange at all times...He didn't have to pay the fine after proving almost impossible to remove a shirt without first removing a jacket.....Those tree houses with a roof and sides leaving the head to look around are illegal but nobody seems to bother them much. ... You can have an enclosed tree house with all the fixins of home...if were me, the orange tarp would be used...I do use a blind in cold weather with my heater in it or a candle under my chair while covered with my poncho...about 70* under there. Still getting the doghouse blind and selling my outhouse one...reason is the band of wire for tension is only on 2 sides of the outhouse.
