Wooden shooting platforms are a common sight throughout the forest, they've traditionally been used to 'manage' the deer populations, although I'm not sure whether they get much use these days. The deer populations have grown dramatically over the last decade or so. These are well solid structures, sturdy, remaining functional for many years, when they do require replacing they're rebuilt in the same areas, although they tend not to rebuild them on the same spot. I wonder if that's as the deer get wise, and pass that knowledge on to the youngers, taking alternative tracks. What I do know is that they're great spots to chill. Their elevated nature makes them first class observation positions (obviously), good places to set up with a flask, a snack, and to blend into the woods...watch and listen.
