That looks like the makings of a pretty comfy deer stand.

Pretty cool, I wonder if someone lashed them together for some reason 25-50 years ago.

Indians used to do a lot signpost trees for directions. That would have been much longer than 50 years back. I've seen lots that look like them in the mountains over the years. They would put a 90 degree bend in the tree to point the direction you needed to go.

chiefjason, thanks for the link. I have seen these over the years and thought that it was storm damaged trees. Opens a new avenue for me to research.
