The boulders were put there by the jackalopes.

Get real... These are obviously Chupacabra nests.

Yeah, they make turkey calls. Mostly lonesome hen calls though...to lure ol' long beard in. (vbg) But there are calls that mimic a Tom's gobble too.....

FWIW-

Now I've heard of barred perch, and ocean perch. I've heard of pumpkinseed perch, and heard people call bluegill, and redeared sunfish, perch...But I've never heard of a snipe perch.

The "how" is easy. The "why" would take several six-packs

LOL, after several six packs, the "why" wouldn't matter any more. :-)

Geesh....I've hauled deer stands up 20' trees that felt like they weighed 200 pounds..!!!

[Jeff Chandler]

Strange... what about the concrete Roman viaducts?

That's not modern, that's ancient, and still standing.

A snipe perch would be a perch from wich you would hunt snipe. Haven't you been snipe hunting before? You should try it. It's a blast.

I think it was Paul Bunyon.

Ha!! Yeah, I got the play on words.

And actually there truly is a bird called a Snipe. And there is an official season on them. At least there is in Okla. You just don't catch them at night..using gunny sacks and flashlights..!! LOL!!

Perch - As in a place to stand, not the fish. IE. He was perched on the edge of the rock.

[gcruse]

That's better than assuming that when the
 tree was a sapling, the rock was only a pebble.

ROFL   Thanks for making my day.

[capitan_refugio]

Oooo! Good thinking. Chupacabras.

We have to connect this to the corrupt ones, Bill and Hillary!

If you find a turtle on a fencepost, it didn’t get there by accident. by Akira Kato

Seriously, a prank using a helicopter in a sling-load operation is the answer.

Bumping for further study.

Hey look! A new kinda tree stand that I can build a campfire on and won't burn!

[ASA Vet]

I don't have any boulders in my trees though

Well get off your duff and go put some in your trees.
You'd likely be "first" in your neighborhood.
Be sure to deny all knowledge of how they got there,
and collect an admission fee.

Speaking of fish, I had an interesting conversation with a restaurant waiter in St. Paul, MN once. The menu had Walleye Pike. I asked which it was.

OR

The chef, waiter, manager all confirmed they served Walleye Pike.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

You're being a little tough on the waiter. Many folks up north refer to the Walleye as Walleye Pike, even though, as you and I know, it is a member of the perch family.

[ASA Vet]

Actually I wasn't tough on the waiter at all.
He was just a clueless kid.
The Walleye he served me was good.
His service was good. He received a decent tip.

It should seem to be very simple to tell if the boulder has been in the tree(s) for mare than a single growing season - if so, the branches would have grown around the rock's surfaces.

Two men armed with only about 50 feet of stout rope and a weird sense of humor could account for the rock's placement.

[Shooter 2.5]

That's the weirdest thing I ever heard of. Especially since the Coral Castle website has a picture of the block and tackle and the timbers that were used for the tripod.

I just love the internet.
