We have the toilet seat.
I only wish I had a photo go with the post.
Apparently it has always been a productive post, or at least until I joined the group :mad:

At least when we do that push, everyone knows exactly where to be.
"You go to the back, you take the toilet seat and you cover the end"

Later in the week when you are trying new runs because the standard runs aren't producing, you don't always get people stationed exactly where you want them to be.
 
I remember my first year in at my dad's camp, first morning they were figuring out who was going to which watch and my god my head was spinning trying to digest the names. 5x years later I still have no idea which is which!
Guess it helps if you are around for the event that leads to each name.
 
I had a spot near Griffith in Ontario I hunted in the 70's and we called it "White Lightning". Similiar reason as yours. I had a night of chillie eating and no TP for the bottum but a quick need for a toilet so ripped up my whities. Like you a fellow hunter stepped in it, even after I covered it with branches. The name was bad enough but my friend told hunter safety classes the storey for about 2o years.

We all draw our watches after supper for the next day..mixes things up a bit, except for one senior guy..he's been going to the same watch every day for the last 38 years!
 
"Whiskey Ditch" near Gimli, MB (Where Crown Royal is made!) but likely named for the offseason pastimes of the locals, is a huge tract of swamp/delta just south of Lake Winnipeg.
Gunners Field, which is across the Red River from Hidden Valley.
The Monkey Trails (there are two sets and they are nowhere near each other .....we're not very imaginative in MB!
The Pits.
It's funny thinking about these places.......in the off season, everybody was all over and the deer were gone.....hunting season came, everybody but the shooters would disappear and the deer would come back just in time to get shot?!?
 
FORT APACHE, TOMAHAWK RUN, WACK SHACK, FIELD OF DREAMS, THE ABBATOIR, MEAT MAKER, BULL RUN, GRAMMAS, VEGGIE BURGER, HAMBURGER HILL, JACKNIFE, KILL-ZONE,CLOVER MEADOW, FIELD OF DREAMS....most of the names are obvious...but Veggie Burger is deceptive, it's the best. These are located on 300 acres, over food plots, beaver meadows, and runways. I use milkweed for wind detector each night, before I choose my stand. Jim Mansell aka Deer Doctor. Each stand has its name routed out of a piece of slab wood.

We had a moose watch at s***house lake. There was a squared off rock in the shape and size of an outhouse.

We also have the sleep stand, my buddy took many a nap there. I also have the parade watch because I had several does and fawns walk by nose to tail at about 10 yards.

We also had a set of trails called the wagon wheel, because if you looked on the map, the way they were laid out, it looked like the spokes and rim of a wagon wheel.

Shot my first moose on Cadillac road. It was a two rut trail through the maple bush that was so smooth, you drive a Cadillac down it and not bottom out.
 
Mud watch, yep, it can be muddy
Geezer hill, 90 yr old's watch
300ft dam, Busy beavers
Top O the Mountain, It's a long way up the hill
The gazebo, It's parts of a gazebo on a scaffold
The narrows. It's a swamp crossing.
The notch, it's a low spot in the ridge where the deer cross.
'tween the lakes. It's a narrow strip between two lakes where you can see both.
Stone dam. A natural stone dam.
The fireplace. There's a fire pit.
 
The sh1t hole- the ugliest chunk of slough that we push at least once per season.
Even the rabbits take one step ahead and two backwards, but we have got some nice deer out of there.
 
Hah - some good ones. Mine are kinda descriptive and boring, or named after the Farmer/Owner (and I'm NOT posting those on here! LOL).
Leaning Tree. First time I hung my stand in it, I spend four hours sitting leaning forward because of the angle of the tree - put my neck out and spent a miserable few days!

Piebald Trail. After the Leaning Tree fiasco, I hung my stand along a trail and shot a piebald doe - my first archery deer.

Oak glen. Yeeeeeaaaaah - you guessed it!

Little Meadow. Yep, "A" is for "imAgination"

I won't bore you with any more descriptive ones, but there's "Jurassic Park" named after a mythical buck -'T-rex'.
