Little bright to me. Figure it would do it some good to fade some. Thats just me.

I'm surprised the OSB even holds up after a few years in our moist climate.

The best thing I have found to put on my stands is a header belt. Find you a farmer that runs draper headers on their combines and see if they have an old belt. I got tired of replacing wood and netting plus all the noise wood can make. These belts are thick rubber and should last for years. Work smarter not harder

Not to hijack, but im just glad to see you're still alive.....give a nickle a shout err'y once in a while.

Yeah I think that OSB would fade and not last well out in the elements

When you buy wood that has a "90-day limited warranty for vertical applications", i would be worried about longevity.

I built a couple box stands out of it back when I was in a deer lease. I killed deer out the stands, but when I go out the lease and took the stands out, I stored them at a friends grandfather's house. His house and property got flooded during Hurricane Rita. Not sure how they do long term in the weather, but they didn't hold up worth a crap to a flood.

It could be purple with pink pocadots and you can still shoot deer out of it.
Where'd who go?
