Was out in my area where I have had my encounters with my son this weekend. It has been a couple months since I have been out in these woods and felt that I needed to go out scout for deer before der season. So myself and my son started walking along this dried up creek bed and found our first giant tree formation in this area. All the other tree formations have been small one's but never as big as this one. So the idea or my theory is that we might have an adult in this area that made this tree formation. As we were making our way out into the thick brush I heard a faint woop so I wooped back to see if I could get a response but deal. But I did take a photo of this tree formation with my son in the middle who stand at about 5' 4" Here is the photo : here is the next photo with my son in the middle There were a lot of deer tracks moving through this area , mostly doe's and no bucks and some fawns. we also found a bent over tree that looked strange that was not in this area before. here is a picture of it as well : We also found these rocks that were large in this open field where deer were crossing through. The strange thing about these rocks is that they had scratch marks on them. Now this is an assumption but my thought is that these creatures must have long nails since the rocks have scratches on them. Here is a picture of one of the rocks I have found and I have even picked up up and brought it home with me.

Well sure, as a kid in the 60's we spent large amounts of time assembling "forts" in the woods.These things are way different. The most glaring difference being that the most puzzling structures have no timber that has been sawn or cut with edged tools. That was half the point as a kid...trying out the new survival knife and especially our lashing techniques. Explaining these things as just kids' play is a glib thought-stopper. We could speculate for days what purpose they serve, but my guess is the process stimulates something deep and fundamental in the brain of the makers...just as it did for us as kids. They are made because it feels good to do it, possibly. As a species, we ourselves have no better explanation for a lot of what we do. If BF are making these, we should not discount that simple motivation.

Oh of course. I'd be hard-pressed to come up with a reason for any person NOT to spend their time going to the woods making things like that. I guess that's why we see these things all over the country in the same basic archetypes and patterns, because everyone's bored of their iPhones and fidget spinners and everyone's into building tree structures. Kids these days.
