large grate-type thing in woods

[donkarlos]

Kind of a large find here..so I goes to swinging in the woods because my trail isn't giving up anything and I find this grate thing..maybe its three feet by three feet - it was under a few inches of dirt and leaves. Also found some cables near it which suggests it isn't too old. In hindsight I think maybe its a tree stand for bow hunting. Not sure.

Good call on the tree stand platform.

Looks pretty close. I'll bet it one from before they got to be more lightweight.
Or maybe this is an entrance to a hatch like in that show 'Lost'

Maybe a cooking grate to be suspended over a fire? Any fire pits, or circles of rocks in the area?

That's a thought - but I think the tree stand platform fits the area. I found another tree stand (in a tree) later on in the day so it seems likely.
